Log 144: Bank Robbery, season 2, episode 24, opens with our heroes (and their stuntmen) being tossed around like dog chew toys by giant Mike Mazurki. All that was missing was the "Biff! Zowee!" cartoon words on the screen. Aired Saturday, April 11, 1970.
Jed Allan's first of six (it only seemed like more) Adam-12 appearances. Mr. Celebrity Bowling -- Don't miss Kent McCord bowling against Batman if you haven't seen it.
Car banter has Malloy complaining that Reed's wife's girlfriends "haven't shown me much" -- pardon?
Still a chance he might get set up with a former Miss Hollywood contestant.
In front of the Cahuenga Shopping Center on the southwest corner of Cahuenga and Regal-- you can see KPFK headquarters. The radio station had some controversy. Notice it says North Hollywood.
More of the Cahuenga Shopping Center and its shops:
Also quite a robbery at a Thriftimart Discount Foods. That was Adam-12's beat, southeast corner of Lankershim and Erwin. $18,000 in 2021 money is almost $130K. Wow!
And you know how Malloy and Reed often exchange $5 here and there? According to the inflation calculator, 1970 $5 is over $35 in 2021.
While Malloy and Reed listen to the man's stolen car parts story, Phil's Transfer and Storage (not a Valley business) truck drives past the 101 on-ramp behind them. You can see the Sheraton Universal at the top of the picture.
Tethered to the Universal lot:
Here's an odd thing to have on Adam-12: a 1949 Plymouth with the name blocked out. Marty Milner had just turned 17 when this car was new.
