Galento 24 Posted September 16, 2014 I thought that Karl Otto Alberty was on the German side and not one of the escapers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,911 Posted November 2, 2014 Can someone tell me what the secret is behind "Hill street blues"? I mean all but 5(!) of the main characters and supporting characters are still alive. (Note: there are five others with no wiki page but I presume they are alive.) And it's an impressive list of actors numbering 37!! St Elswhere, which ran at around the time period is doing ok too. Just going from memory, I think we've only lost Ed Flanders from the main cast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted November 2, 2014 I was thinking last week on doing a Dirty Dozen thread which is of similar vintage. But more "possible". Now on a tablet as opposed to laptop, I'm less likely to do it. Until I get another laptop , the tablet is only for watching football via mobdro, yes mobdro. That's mobdro. For all televisual/sporting needs..... Mobdro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
