I watched it 4 times a day (on ME-TV and COZI) and couldn't get enough of it. It reinforced my pre-existing hero worship of LEOs, firefighters, EMTs, just all first responders in general. I, too, wondered about Martin's age and how I would ever know if he had health problems or died. I learned of his death on Sept. 8, 2015, as his birth & death dates were shown at the beginning of that day's showings of Adam-12. I wept off & on the rest of that day and had episodes of crying for several days after, even though I had never met the man. Something about him just touched my heart. Thus began an online search for anything I could find about him and Kent McCord, even resulting in my opening a Facebook page in order to collect whatever I found. All the moving tributes from LEOs were so touching! It broke my heart to learn of the eventual closing of the Martin Milner Private Family Collection Facebook page. I had continued to share photos from that page to mine, and of course, those all disappeared. My search for pictures of the 2 guys continues, and I was so thrilled to find your blog about meeting Kent McCord. The Adam-12 DVD set I received as a 2014 Christmas gift has been the most-used and adored gift I've had in adulthood, and I've watched the entire series over & over. I was so delighted to find your blog after several fruitless searches. Unfortunately, I'm at a different place in my (re)viewing than you are, so I end up "cruising thru" and commenting on your blogs long after you've written them. I've just started Season 7 again, and I watch 2 or 3 episodes every night, so when I've finished that, I'll go back to where you are in the process. That way, I'll be current with your viewing and insightful comments. I LOVE your pictures and remarks! My very favorite, so far, is your take on "Exactly 100 Yards". The beefcake pictures are fabulous, and your comments made me laugh til the tears came. (Have looked at that one over & over.) I'll be anxious to see your pix from Season 7, as I love the episode where Reed & Malloy stake out a drug dealer, with Reed sitting in his car for a period of time before the bust. He looks so sexy, sitting there in the car in his "civvies"---just like the old days of "cruising Main" and hanging out in cars in small towns. In all the screen grabs I've seen from A-12, I've never found one from that scene. I hope this hasn't taken up too much of your blog space, but I just had to add to your tribute. Thank you so much for your wonderful blog. Please keep up the great work.

He was good in good films like The Sweet Smell of Success or Compulsion and you can see him briefly in Mister Roberts. But it was in pictures like 13 Ghosts or The Private Lives of Adam and Eve or Valley of the Dolls where he proved how skilled he was."..."I never met the man. If I had, I would have told him how much I liked watching him when he had a good script and how I even liked him when he took a weak one and made it work."<br /><br />I can think of no higher praise for an actor.Jonathan Andrew Sheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13533106584138186704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432892204045467262.post-59246117000201150192015-09-09T09:22:25.859-04:002015-09-09T09:22:25.859-04:00For Keely...."Beautiful, beautiful....your lo...For Keely...."Beautiful, beautiful....your loving words of tribute to Martin Milner as our "Officer Pete Malloy". I so loved deeply this man since first seeing him at age 10...and still love him at age 57. That is why my entire Facebook page is all about Martin Milner as "Officer Pete Malloy". Not at all surprised by the "beauty" you elude in your wonderful, kind words paying tribute to him...... that is who You are!! Thank you, thank you dear Keely and for your so thoughtful email. Proud to follow you....someone of your caliber and proud of your loving thoughts of our precious Martin Milner....and proud to call you my Pennsylvania friend (even though we have never met). Thank you Keely for this loving, touching tribute of your beautiful words that you wrote about my (everybodys) so loved Mr. Martin Milner. He will forever remain in my heart. I think of Martin Milner on the song "For Baby" by John Denver....the line "Leaves will bow down, when you walk by and morning bells will chime" Bless you Keely!!!Terry Dempseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432892204045467262.post-51811635994354815022015-09-09T09:00:33.327-04:002015-09-09T09:00:33.327-04:00Excellent tribute Keely & Thank You!Excellent tribute Keely & Thank You!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886354792957216070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432892204045467262.post-81793006357859663942015-09-09T05:30:29.397-04:002015-09-09T05:30:29.397-04:00I was so upset when I saw the blurb on MeTV ��

Watching Adam 12 this morning on COZI TV was particularly difficult. I have been a huge fan of Marty's ever since I was 10 and had a crush on him from Route 66. By the time Adam 12 aired originally I was a married woman and renewed my crush all over again. Now as I'm watching both shows again I can truly appreciate what an amazing man and talent he was. I will miss him dearly. Your tribute was very special. <br />On a personal note Thank you for your terrific blog. It's the highlight of my Sunday. I laugh out loud over your observations and love being a part of the Adam 12 community.
