August 11 - Adam-12: Season Three
In the Seventies, Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord), two intrepid police officers guarded the streets of Los Angeles in the iconic police drama Adam-12. Season Three offers more drama and excitement as the officers fight crime alongside Academy Award®-winning actresses Jodie Foster and Margaret O'Brien as well as other notable guest stars such as comedian Norm Cosby and child actor Butch Patrick (The Munsters).



Created and produced by Jack Webb, Adam-12 was a spin-off of the popular NBC-TV series Dragnet and similarly portrayed incidents and situations that were based on real LAPD cases. Brimming with gritty realism, the groundbreaking show was one of the first realistic portrayals of LAPD life to air for seven seasons on NBC from 1968–1975. Adam-12 is currently on syndication on Nick At Nite and TV Land. The 4-DVD box set priced to own for $34.99.

Suzanne (Delta Burke), Julia (Dixie Carter), Mary Jo (Annie Potts) and Charlene (Jean Smart) bring their sexy, strong and smart Southern style to the Sugarbaker interior design firm. Personalities collide, power struggles ensue, egos are bruised – it's all in a day's work. Having joined the women midway through the first season, Anthony Bouvier (Meshach Taylor) continues on as a series regular and part of the Sugarbaker team as the ex-con with a heart of gold turned male sounding board.



This second season also offers the delightful presence of the "just a little off the beam" feisty widow Bernice Clifton (Alice Ghostley). Season Two guest stars include Hal Holbrook (Evening Shade) and Gerald McRaney (Jericho). Created by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, Designing Women aired on CBS from 1986 to 1993.

(Parker) and Rick Simon (McRaney) tracking down missing radio personalities, crooked magicians, gamblers, horse smugglers and murderers.
