Hats on TV

"The Big Goodbye" is the 12th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. The episode first aired in on January 11, 1988.

Data's hat looks quite vintage. Capt. Picard's looks somehow more modern -- but it is nicely bashed.

Data in Spectators! Love it!

I'm not sure I prefer it, but I think it suits his more casual attire as well as the fedora he's wearing in the last photo in post #522 suits his "Dixon Hill" attire.

It looks as if Damnation may have a few cool hats in it.

Again Damnation... I thought it was pretty good.

I really liked this one.

We use the saying "Wear the hat; don't let the hat wear you" often around here, and this is an example of the hats (and the clothes) wearing the actors. All three of 'em look like they borrowed those clothes for a Halloween party.

I agree completely. Not only are the styles terrible they look like costumes and not actual clothes. The photos of the real LAPD squad look so authentic and natural.

It also doesn't help that the TV show actors look 20 years too young and are all pretty boys.

Maybe the hats are alright; I can't tell because I see them as part of the whole and the whole looks terrible.

Good to hear, Rusty. Got it recorded.

Didn't see much of it around here. Never did figure out the whole unstructured jacket with padded shoulders thing. Never saw espadrilles on a man, either.

If you can look at a photo and guess it's age within a couple of years by the fashion trends then I'm not interested. Men's "style" hasn't really changed much over the last 80 years. Sure a 1930s suit looks slightly different then a conservative cut today, but not much. A 50 year old suit from the 1960s looks very little different then a fine suit today. Fashions come and go every year, if not every season, but style is slow to change and that's how I like it.

I'll admit that I watched a few episodes of Miami Vice in the '80s, but I've never personally seen anyone dress like those actors. To each their own, but The Hat Squad costumes looked horrible to me in the 1990s and time has not done them any favors.

Dunno if anybody's posted this, of the late Robert Culp in his 1957-59 TV oater Trackdown:



The show is notable for introducing Steve McQueen's Josh Randall character, later spun off in Wanted: Dead or Alive; for being Culp's first starring role on TV; and for airing his first script, "Back to Crawford," late in the show's run.

I hadn't heard of this series, and haven't read many of Margery Allingham's Albert Campion novels -- but both actors look perfectly cast as Campion and his "man of all work," Magersfontein Lugg.

That's the 5th Doctor Who, Peter Davidson playing Campion.

No, no, it's Tristan Farnon from All Creatures Great and Small. Inspired me with his fair isle sweater vests and heavy tweed and flannel jackets. Or was he the Last Detective?

Tristan was my favourite role of Davidson's. Sean Hughes of the last detective died young a few weeks back. Liver. Sad.

It was a great role and a great series. Truly did inspire my style and those heavy country clothes are the gold I seek. Sad to hear about Sean Hughes. I think it was just a couple of months ago that I rewatched the Last Detective series.

An I thought I was the only one who watched Campion. Quirky show that I wish had a longer run. The costuming was quite good.
