    Pete Malloy and Jim Reed? If you were born after 1975, probably not.

    Thanks for the tip on Hulu - couldn't get it overseas and have forgotten about it since returning!

    Oh man, my family watched it every week. The one that scared me as a kid was FBI. At the end of that show they would put up one of the FBI's most wanted. Always scared the crap out of me.

    Pretty cool but I'm pretty sure its a Comet. Reeds 54 Ford was pretty cool too.

    I think this screen shot came from that show. This is what my car looked like when I got it in 83.

    I still watch it during afternoon break at work but only catch 15 minutes of it. It's still entertaining but, most every episode, you can figure out how it's going to end in the first 5 minutes:)

    You know, I didn't even think to look that closely to realize it was a Comet.

    I liked the 54 Ford and especially liked when he beat the Camaro! But I have to admit, if I was to own any of the cars in that show it would have been the Camaro. Did you see the back end of the Superbird or Daytona in one of the shots?

    And it was very refreshing to hear realistic ET's and MPH's...not the stuff Fast and Furious would like us to believe.
