- Erin Fleming was the 'girl friend' that dominated Groucho Marx's life in his final years. A wannabe actress, she makes a brief appearance in this 6th season episode of Adam-12 (air date: October 10, 1973)
I was 7 years old when the first episode of Adam-12 came out. From that night on, I knew with certainty what I wanted to do when I grew up. I was a police officer for 30 years.
Thank you for picking out a decent profession for us all, we need more, not less of people like you. I hope the most traumatic thing you had to do was arrest a pumpkin driving without a license. My guess is not though. Not all could pull off an entire 30 years of the work you did. Social... law... danger thrown in... sudden occurrences. I couldn't have done it even knowing that I had a team there with us helping each other. Thank you again.
@@willoughby1888 “ Fewer people” as people is a collective countable noun like “ cattle”. Uncountables are generally indefinite quantitative determiners and immeasurable quantities like happiness or concepts like money. It’s dollars that are countable not the concept of money. They use “ less” such as “ less money”. All in a day’s work for Super Grammar Nazi who, by the way, taught this in university for the greater part of 30 years and written over a dozen books on it. Trust me.
You might remember thst episode of “ Everybody Loves Raymond “ when Raymond is in a cafe with his brother who is a cop. Suddenly a guy tries to rob the place and his brother tells him to get down and goes into action. He then realizes how dangerous his brother’s job really is.
@@garyfrancis6193 You need a comma after “fewer people”, though, in order for your first sentence to be structured correctly.

Thanks for serving. Ya, Adam 12 was a pretty good show!
Love the show so much I became a police officer now retired 25 yrs
Thank you for your service!!
Thank you for your service!
What Department?
ACAB and defund the police!
FUN FACT: Stephen J. Cannell got his start writing scripts for Adam-12. He would later go on to create or co-create such iconic TV shows like The Rockford Files, Baretta, The A-Team, and Hunter. He always used an IBM Selectrix typewriter and married his childhood sweetheart. Cannell died at age 69 in 2010 from complications due to melanoma. R I P SJC.
METV now shows the A-Team after Adam-12. For those 2 hours, I'm sitting in the recliner enjoying the shows..
He was the show's story editor during the fourth and fifth seasons. The IBM Selectric typewriter is now owned by TV showrunner Matt Nix ("Burn Notice", "True Lies").
Yup, in the later years at the end of the Shows that Steven Created/Produced the closing credits showed a video clip of Steven typing on his typewriter, him grabbing the paper and throwing it over his shoulder...there were few others that did something like that, Mary Tyler Moore's MTM with the kitten growling, then there was "Sit Ubu, sit".
@@Timinator62 At the end of Night Court, I think someone said "That's some bad hat, Harry."...a line from "Jaws". Harry Anderson wore a hat during his magic act....RIP, Harry.
Those shows never get old!
Some of the scenes were used as training films for the LAPD for years.
InstaBlaster.
Love seeing the cars and neighborhoods they filmed this series at,....."memories/70's"...!
One of THE BEST series on TV! RIP Martin Milner.
Still watch it everyday since the 1970's.
Just started binge watching "Adam 12" on IMDB, almost finished Season 1. I think this is one of the best Police shows that aired on TV.
I watch it on MeTV and I agree, it was a very well done show. Same with its sister show "Emergency".
Get Smart was better.
Barney Miller was the best.
@@AlcoLoco251 Yes Emergency was great as well. Sadly I watched them when they aired.
next you can watch "Dragnet"
Most people probably did not realize that Adam 12 was one of the most realistic of police shows, particularly as to the uniformed patrol officers - thanks to Jack Webb !
Adam 12 Was Realistic I Understand LAPD Used Some Of Their Videos As Training Tools Of Course Way Long Ago!
Thanks to "He Walked by Night," a 1940's film noir with Jack Webb as a lab tech, he gave us Dragnet. Which is the grandfather of police dramas.
What?! CHiPs was not the most realistic? I'd always thought.
@@DSC800 watch what you say about my favorite police documentary, CHiPs
Especially the early episodes where one of their cases was thrown out of court, where Reed discovered a meth lab in a room that was not included as part of the search warrant. And another episode where they got called on the carpet by Lt. Moore for letting a dangerous suspect loose before getting the records check from Sacramento, to go after a couple of joyriders.
the best part: "is that it?" "it looks like the same pumpkin" I spewed my coffee laughing.
Sure. What are the odds there would be TWO pumpkins roaming about?
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha L.O.L.!!! Ha,ha,ha ha,ha!!!
@@michaelrainone296 I haven't watched television in a long while, but I'm pretty sure when I do, I will get just a smidgen more effort from the writers for dialog than this.
Hi Jonathan. I couldn't agree more.Have you seen their appearance on the "Laugh In" comedy show??? Very funny stuff.Adam-12 was one of my 4 alltime favorite TV series. I was a 8-9 year old at the time.They don't make them like that these days!@ Brst wishes from Canada. 🙂🙂
My guess is it was an ad-lib. But it's got to be one of the greatest lines from this classic show. Soooooo funny!
“Is that the pumpkin?
“ Looks like the same one.”
Reed: I can go in foot pursuit. Mallory: You got us in to this. I should let you go right ahead and get it. I will meet you at the corner.
Meant to type Malloy.

IF you move your cursor over to the far right of your comment after you've posted it there's three vertical dots , if you hover over those it allows you to click on an "Edit" function so you can modify your comment for tipyos, spelling errers, and other things.
Forgot how good this show was, so impressed me that I eventually became a police officer five years after the series ended retired after 25 yrs service . May is law enforcement appreciation month all the best to my brothers in blue !
You fellas take over from here. I've already booked three pumpkins this week. Lol
"Y'know Deacon, you've turned into a real ball of fire since they took your training wheels off"
My favorite two lines
@@EvanDowell1213 right! Lol
Good tv never gets old
Yeah, spider man part 87 is getting old.
"1-Adam-12, we're in pursuit of a pumpkin."
"...going at 10 mph."
"1-Adam-12, if you want to request Code 7, just say so."
"Negative, dispatch, every time we request Code 7 you come back with '1-Adam-12, continue patrol and handle this call' and it's usually Old Lady Smith who forgot she let her nephew borrow her car."
"That looks like the same one," is a pretty funny low-key line.
It’s the great pumpkin charley brown 🤪
Simpler, better times.
Really with "Watergate", the Vietnam War, Arab Oil Embargo , etc. raging? Ah, yes...the good ol' days
1 Adam 12 in pursuit of a pumpkin. Proceeding west on Pinecraft, passing Belmont. Speed in excess of 7 mph.
Roger, all units on all frequencies standby 1-Adam-12 is in pursuit...
Did anyone else notice that Larry Hovis (Hogan's Heroes) was on this episode as well? His name was in the credits.
I did notice. He was the photographer at the beach where the woman was nude sunbathing. I believe he was on top of a slide. I love the woman who handed the beach towel to her to cover herself.
The remarkable thing about Adam-12 was that all of these incidents happened in real life. People can be just plain funny, tragic, or stupid.
Some of that can be due to people pumping their kin...
I spent many years as a cop in L.A. County. I can assure you, the most amusing stories would never be allowed on prime time TV. All time favorite for one of the most realistic series had to be Police Story, while Wambaugh was still involved. Some great stuff on that one.
1:38 to 1:46 left upper corner notice the boom mic strolling along..lol
Right above Reeds head.
Nice catch!
Oh no! That's hilarious!
They give police a good name!
It seems like criminals well wasn't so criminal back then lol
Ahh I existed during this one. Less than a year old though!
Those AMC police cruisers were legendary in LAPD service. The power and handling combination could not be matched by it's rivals.
I am an AMC fan, but these cars were well known to be junk, and not suited to the demands of police work at all. Officers overwhelmingly preferred the Plymouths they had been issued previously.
Erin Fleming, the lady pulling the pumpkin was Groucho Marx girlfriend who was into controlling Groucho (Groucho was so difficult that his own children didn't want to care for him) Erin was glad to help and also get his money and drug him. After Groucho died, the Estate sued Erin and won and years later Erin committed suicide by gun.
Ah, sad story I didn’t know. Too bad Groucho’s kids got his money after not taking care of him.
So who wound up getting the pumpkin?
Great series. My wife and i had a ball at Universal Studios when were were chosen to participate in a short movie on a set made up like Adam12.
I got to play an officer. The skit was of two officers responding to a robbery at a bar. My wife played a barfly! Lots of fun for sure. I was a deputy sheriff at the time.......
Realism!
Adam 12 was one of my favorite shows growing up, the stories were loosely based on actual calls. In fact I liked this show so much, that my 1st feature film I made I slipped in a decal on one of our prop police cars that said 1-A-12 .
That's awesome!
My favorite Groucho and Erin story is about his Cadillac. She could make him do anything, but he drew the line at either- (it's been a long time, I'm trying to recall) selling his Cadillac or giving it to her, and he balked. Erin: "I will slap you from here to Pittsburgh!"
The best show on TV this was the Golden age of tv
Sometimes the little moments lend a genuine sense of realism to shows like this. At 1:13 for example, Pete notices Deacon coming up on the left and lets out an exasperated sigh.
One of my favorite shows
I love Adam-12!
This Show wrote the Book on Cop TV. The closest show to Adam-12 was SouthLAnd and it missed the Mark.
0:19 "Is that the pumpkin?"
I would have been like, "Umm, no... I'm interested in a DIFFERENT giant driving pumpkin car. thanks."
I know - first thing I thought too. LMAO.
The “pumpkin” clearly identifies as a Jack O’Lantern. Obviously before the days of Gourd Sensitivity Training for LAPD
Just so there is no confusion, it should be identified as Cucurbita maxima...
Gotta get a dig in on us Irish. I suppose that Jack O’Lantern was drunk too. 😂
@@miked1765 he was out of his gourd
@@bill1589 😂
It's a non binary pumpkin
1 Adam 12, be on the lookout for a Mr. O'Lantern, first name Jack.
That was a fun episode.
In todays world a meth pipe would’ve fell out while she was retrieving her DL
And the cops would have shown up in tactical vests and enough firepower to wipe out an army. It was a much more innocent time then
@@devilsadvocacy Wouldn’t you ? Lunatics crashing barriers and jumping out of cars with knives terrorist shooting up shopping centers ☠️
@@Cola64 Definitely. You never know anymore who might "be having a bad day"
@@devilsadvocacy Ive had some pretty bad days in my life I think punching a wall or two was the worst of them
@@Cola64 Nowadays a bad day is all it takes to cause a massacre
Wow look how nice LA's alleys were back then.
Yup, poor Erin. She was crazy then, and later. The Rampart Station was right behind my Childhood home in Los Angeles.
I have watched way too much TV in my time. I watched this show all the time.
Adam-12 - the way we wish cops were rather than they way cops really are.
Best comment on the board. This programming is just a TV show and nothing more. Totally idealized. Read Joseph Wambaugh books if you want a somewhat more realistic depiction of the LAPD in this time period. I watch the show regularly but I enjoy it as a period piece and comedy.
Nice shot of the boom microphone over their heads at 1:45. Since our TVs had the ''overscan area" around the edges of the screens, we didn't see it.
Although I love Adam-12, this is one of the reasons why I didn't always love it. All the silly situations, calls, and people they interacted with over the course of the show. If these kinds of storylines were on tv today, the show would be laughed off the air within the first season.
I like how he opened his "laptop." Flips down the cover to reveal a notepad! LOL, a precursor for things to come!
I was watching the end credits and a future Battlestar Galactica co star was in this episode, Laurette Spang. Also Larry Hovis as Sgt Carter from Hogan's Heros
Spang’s daughter is the lovely Molly McCook, probably best known as the second Mandy Baxter on “Last Man Standing.”
I had one of those pumpkins at my kindergarten in 1980!
I’ve been streaming the entire series for the last couple months and saw this episode last week.
"It looks like the same one." LOL Oh *THAT* pumpkin. Okay, now I see what you mean.
as a kid thought their sqad car looked sort of small, now i think it was a monster with that v8 in there
It's no longer a world of Cadillac ElDorados and Chrysler Imperials.
I was a regular listener to the Gilbert Gottfried Amazing Colossal Podcast. So many great conversations with tons of excellent entertainers, actors, directors, writers, producers, comedians etc... Groucho (and old Groucho) was ALWAYS coming up, and of course plenty of Fleming came along with that.
Gilbert's Old Groucho was absolutely side-splitting.
Remember watching this show on its first run as a kid… Malloy and Rees were my heroes.
All my coworkers give me weird looks because I still use my Adam-12 lunch box.
Wow. That's some amazing acting.
One adam twelve, one adam twelve.
"...see the man."
@@TralfazConstruction 415 fight group....with chains and knives.....
@@arise2945 I suggest we call for backup and wait until help arrives.
Did anybody else notices shadow of the camera and the crew on the hood of the car at the end
She was stoned out of her gourd.
Love watching ADAM-12 to compare prices and businesses that no longer exist; and things that were illegal then; no longer now...drug usage; prostitution;; homelessness; J-walking; gambling; lottery; theft ....
Notice at 2:50 or so the shadow of the camera and a crew member on the hood.
The days when cops Actually wore hats not baseball caps
Not Hat or Cap, It's "COVER", more correct, "Combination Cover" ! "Cover" is Military, for all head coverings.
@@charletonzimmerman4205
I stand corrected thanks
You must be great at parties
@@busman7228
I usually get into fights at parties but at 6'5 250lbs I win most of them
@@wolfsden3812 I guess you ain't a gentle giant then. Imma 6.0 feet and 210 lbs and can probably whoop your whoopie smart ass.
In another episode, I saw gas prices at .39 cents.
And that was in California. Think how much less it was in the rest of the country
They were actually paying you .39 cents/gal to gas up your ride.
CHRIST loves you and died for you 💔😢💔😢❤️.
Just remember officers, Pumpkins lives matter.
Back when cops were cops,not wanna be warriors.
tv was so good back then
Erin Fleming had a Mo Collins thing about her in looks and possibly acting, yet she didn't have much of a career outside draining old Groucho. I guess Chico really needed the money..
On a Marx Brothers kick right now and recently found out about her. It's just like Stan Lee, Casey Kasem, and now Peter Max! A talented, beloved (and very rich) old man just being taken advantage of by psychos who claim to love him!
Oi vey. Literally annuduh shoah!
Today they're wearing everything I wore in Iraq.
Plot twist: The pumpkin was a secret meth lab.
Thanks for this clip! I have really been enjoying old shows. Forgot about this one great show
Was a cop for 34 years. Never stopped a pumpkin, but did escort the weinermobile once. What a crazy job.....
A Louis Vuitton purse in the 60’s..wow.
Actually the 1970s
filmed in playa del rey!
They were following her in a 72 Dodge Coronet and pulled up in an AMC Rambler pretty slick move
Love this TV 📺 series
Jack Webb let this humor slip through
"Is that the pumpkin." "Looks like the same one. "
They should have made more episodes.
Cops sure have changed.
Sick woman. She hurt Groucho, but he was in for much worse. Broke him down. Mentally ill, she not only didn't steal his fortune from his family, but ended up committing suicide. God bless Groucho. She made him cry.
She was nicely equipped. Nicely.
I just started watching this recently, I swear these phones are listening to us.
Loved this show as a kid. Mod Squad, Emergency 👍🏻👍🏻
With Laurette Spang, and Larry Hovis!
Laurette spang was on battlestar galactica.
Love the "tablet." Nothing like what our cops go through today.
I always wondered if he was checking the "hot sheet" to see if there was a pumpkin on it.
Wow! Larry Hovis was in this episode "Carter" on "Hogan's Heroes," and William Vint, character actor, usually a bad guy, in so many TV and movie roles. It's fun to see earlier roles for actors who did well later in their careers. Soaps are good training grounds, too.
PS I may have been thinking of Jesse Vint, his brother.
Pete always acts so pissed off
LA's Finest, 35 years of service.
I Finally retired 🎉
Man, you can see the craziness in her eyes.
Love this TV 📺
Women, they'd take the milk out of your coffee and then come back for the sugar.
Those cars had a lot of headroom
Great posting
Groucho paid for that Louis Vuitton hand bag. (and she wanted them to push her pumpkin)
In todays world the lady towing the pumpkin would get belligerent with officers, refuse to show ID then pull out a gun.
I see Laurette Spang was also in this episode. Nice.
More like the "Nursery for elderly comedians who have a lot of money"!
True Story: there was a PreSchool in my Town that had one of those Jack O' Lantern playhouses exactly like this one. White inside, doorway on the side, it was installed only a few years after this Show and it was in Southern California too, my friends an I wondered why a Jack O' Lantern? We walked by it everyday from 2nd Grade until about High School, then the Preschool was gone one day... the House was probably worth more than the PreSchool.
If I was gonna be arrested I'd want to be busted by Reed and Malloy.
STAY IN THE VEHICLE. PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL!
(“I feared for my safety, so I had to tase her”).
How things have changed.
Wow. What a great show this was. Seems to hold up pretty well, too. Better than Hill Street Blues or NyPD Blue have.
Cops now would have ended up killing the pumpkin and its owner because she refused to stop twice.
