Hats on TV

[RBH]

I love Glynn Turman as Doctor Senator!!

When he was asked about his name, he said his mother named him that.
Then he was asked what was his mother's name.. he replied ''Ma'am".

Chinatown Squad of the San Francisco Police Department posing with sledge hammers and axes in front of August Pistolesi’s grocery store at 752 Washington Street, 1895. They were specialized in opium dens and gambling rooms and their method was simple.

Hurricane Jack posted this the other day in the Non Shorpy all stars thread. Coincidentally, I learned today about a new show on HBO Max called Warrior. It's based on Bruce Lee's original treatments, which as the story goes, were unscrupulously 'borrowed' and turned into the David Carradine Kung Fu series by Hollywood execs.

Anyhow, here's one of the publicity stills for the show:

Cool soundstage.

Thanks to The Covid (TM), I've taken to sometimes working in the afternoon in front of the television, and found myself gravitating to old westerns on MeTV. Over the course of the afternoon, they run Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman, and Wagon Train. It's been interesting for me because I have not seen many of the episodes before, or had forgotten about them (as an example, I came to Bonanza late, and really never saw the Adam episodes).

When I was a kid, however, I never missed The Rifleman. I've come to enjoy it again as an adult - every last corny moment and illogical plot device. It's a fun show.

This local TV segment from last month ended up in my YouTube suggestions. A nice little bit on Shudde Bros hats.

Web featurette on Lock & Co. Middle section focuses on millinery however (probably because Christy's is the manufacturer of their felt line).

Might not count at a TV show, but my Duvall hat from Apocalypse Now arrived today.

Stumbled across this group of detectives in Atlanta going by the name of "The Hat Squad" on "The First 48" this afternoon.

I'm not completely sure, but one of them may have been a member at one time.

Doesn't every big city in the U.S. have a group of detectives who call themselves "The Hat Squad"? I know we have one here in Los Angeles.

LA had a ‘hat squad’ that operated in the late 40’s into the 50’s. “Mullholland Falls” is loosely based on them. Pretty famous locally with a couple of them becoming lawyers and one of them a Municipal judge. I’ve posted some stuff on them before somewhere, maybe this thread.

Edit: Hmm.. that didn't work like I thought it would

You need to delete that "v" at the end of the link. For some reason Imgur's software adds that to the end of every gif file name, and it screws things up.
