Has anyone a complete list of all episodes that were ever made?
If possible with episode titles?
Thx a lot.
-
There are websites listing that stuff. I also found a sound file with the theme song on British website.
This one is all text, but appears accurate:

Maybe it's just me, but I liked BBBS a whole helluva lot more when I knew less about ACM.
Nowadays, the fight scenes are so bad, they just slow up the story (as thin as it may be).
-
Better still, anyone know where I can download a wav of that hand cranked air-raid siren they use in the opening credits? I used to have it years ago on my office machine but lost the file. Can't seem to find the download now. It would work great in AH IMHO...

The STORY??? Oh please, BBBS has some beautiful planes, but the whole thing was an ego boost for that little guy, Robert Conrad. He was fresh off the success of "Wild Wild West" and played the macho man's man to the hilt, but in real life he's about 5'6 and only THINKS he's a bad ass. He was always in somebody's face, and usually it was the flunkies on the set who couldn't say anything in rebuttal after he fried and threatened them.
Seriously, Robert Conrad was an amazinhunk to work with. If you did a close-up he had to stand on a lift and get the camera angle just right so he appears taller. Also in fight scenes he never pulled any punches, so the stunt men hated him too.
I watch the show because it brings back many fond memories, but without getting into the specifics of how I know Bob Conrad you can all take it from me, the guy is a jerk.
-
Hehe... guess Bob wasn't as enamored with the role of Boyington as he was with the character, Jesse Hawkes.
Think he reprised that role three times. :D
-
Yeah, I'm not a big Conrad fan, but speaking personally I can vouch that the guy is a chump and he knows I think so. If I saw him today I would kick his pretty boy posing bellybutton all over the street. The crap that amazinhunk put me through for what was the worst year of my life has earned him my hate, believe me. I hope that bastard rots in hell. Sheeesh, I have to go out for a bit or I'd write more about my relationship with Mister Big Shot Robert Conrad. LOL You got me in a foul mood now. I'll stew all night.
-
Tell us Elfenwolf, this sounds interesting.
-
I can't say he's an amazinhunk. I met him at the height of the Blacksheep run. He was a mouthy drunk and he couldn't fight. If, that qualifies him...
There is no way he could ever compare to Boyington.
He wasn't fresh out of WWW, though. I don't think he'd done much since WWW, but that had been quite a few years.
They should have used Bronson.

That's at least one thing that Conrad has on Bronson. At least he can talk.

You know, when I watch a movie, listen to music, or watch TV, I generally focus on it rather than the reality behind who made it. If I was bitter about every amazinhunk or freak that was in the entertainment industry, I wouldn't have any entertainment. Has Robert Conrad demonstrated he is a first rate amazinhunk in public and private? Repeatedly. Have I enjoyed almost everything he has ever done in terms of acting? Generally, yes. I generally disapprove of homosexuality and especially publicly advocating it as if it is perfectly normal and acceptable. But, if I went homophobic and refused to associate with anyone or anything involving homosexuality, there wouldn't be many movies or songs I could watch or listen to and enjoy. As long as they aren't breaking the law in terms of hurting others, I could care less what entertainers do when they aren't entertaining me.
As it is, aside from being an outstanding fighter pilot and combat leader, the real Boyington was quite the amazinhunk himself. I think Robert Conrad was a good if not perfect choice for playing Boyington.
-
I was Bob Conrad's personal gaffer on BBBS...until I was wrongfully terminated after one year.
Check out "Big Bob" the next time you see him in a jump suit and you'll notice he seems to be rather large in the crotch area. Can you say padding? That's right, two pairs of socks stuffed into his underwear give him that manly look. It was one of my jobs to get the socks, and one time I got a pair of wool socks instead of cotton and Bob had a bad reaction to the wool and broke out into a rash over his entire crotch area. He was so pissed he made me stand at attention while he kicked me in the balls several times.
Once he threw a drink glass at me because it was too big and made his hand look small. I had to get five stitches in my forehead from that little tantrum. We had to use scaled-down EVERYTHING on that show to make up for Bob's small stature- pencils, books, jeeps, .50 cals...even the F4s are 3/4 size.
He made me follow him around the set with a wooden box he used to stand on to fondle all the female extras who worked on the show. They were all disgusted by him, but it was written into their contracts that Bob could fondle them whenever he wanted. I would stand and wait until he was done and stepped off the box, then I would pick it up and follow him to the next poor girl.
Bob slapped me once for bringing him coffee without enough brandy in it. He was usually obnoxious by eight AM, drunk by 10:30 and passed out by noon. We'd take a three hour break while Bob slept it off and resume shooting in the late afternoon. We tried to schedule all his action shots between eight and ten while he was in his obnoxious stage. All the more sedate and serious scenes were filmed after he woke up from his "power nap." We avoided all airplane scenes between eleven to noon because it was so hard on us to lift him in and out of the F-4 when he was drunk.
Do you remember that late 1970s show "Battle Of The Network Stars" where they had tug of wars and races and crap like that? Remember when Bob challanged Gabe Kaplan to a race of about 110 yards to settle a relay race dispute, and Gabe Kaplan smoked him by 15 yards? Man, Bob went freaky after that humiliation. If anybody even mentioned it he'd sunday punch them. He got even bigger lifts for his shoes and a bigger box to stand on. He began stuffing an extra pair of socks in his shorts and his girl fondling and drinking increased to new heights.
In spite of his verbal and physical abuse I stuck it out for a year until Bob saw a candid picture of me standing next to him on the set, holding his wooden box. Bob stared silently at the picture for a long moment, then he asked me to put his box down. I did, Bob stepped on it so as to be eye level with me, and he slapped me. "Get out!" he screamed. "You're fired! You're too damn tall!" Then he yelled at Security to throw me off the set.
So I was wrongfuly terminated from my job for being too tall. I could have sued but that would have ruined any future employment opportunities for me in Hollywood so I kept my mouth shut.

Well, if being an amazinhunk qualifies him, there were a LOT of better choices.
Boyington's real parents were divorced before he got to know his real father. He was convinced his step-father was his real dad, until after he was married, a father, living in Tacoma, WA., and enlisting in the Marine Corps. Knowing your father would disqualify you from M.C. service in those days, but I think Boyington had the added advantage of being part Indian (disqualifying him from other services, perhaps). Certainly, Boyington could not have made his way into the USAAF (boy, would they be sorry).
At that point he was an impromptu wrestler, but the Marines taught him to fight. From that day forward he was a real bastard. No, Conrad can't compare, but really; what actor could?
Boyington clearly lied about his AVG history, but not significantly. Comparing his total kills, though, should be open to interpretation and suspiscion.When the AVG was absorbed by the USAAF Boyington was given a dishonorable discharge by Chenault.
I still haven't worked through the B.S. to figure out precisely how he got back into action, but he certainly did not fly his P-40 (as depicted in the series). Joe Smoak (Col. Lard) was certainly a lot tougher than Boyington, so you can't really buy the series depiction of him, either.
Boyington wasn't a great orator, though a braggart. I think Bronson would have portrayed him well. Besides, they more alike than Conrad ever could.

Except for the 'Hawgs' this is the dumbest WWII series ever make. Wait, I forgot Hogan's Heros....
-
watch your mouth otto, i loved that show.
shultz was smarter than anyone knew "I see nothing" that kinda attitude will take you far in life
-
Ummm Elfenwolf,
A gaffer is an electrician, why did Conrad need his own personal electrician? Did he have Robo-armor that made him look taller and tougher? Or maybe he was some sort of cyborg?

Of course EW's story was BS, but it was a good read.

Elfenwolf, my wife wants you to know she thinks you are hilarious. She's been following your post for a little while now and has started a Ottawa chapter of the "Elfenwolf Fan Club"

Elfenwolf=bobn?
It would make sense.

ummm what are you doing looking at his crotch ?

No way this is Bobn. Bobn was never this entertaining- at least not intentionally.

Steven, you cannot think for a second Elf is serious about anything he posts. I think he packs a lot of imagery in a small amount of space, not unlike Creamo. Sometimes both are coarse, but invariably I cannot fail to see the humor in their words or style.
I think Elf himself is at times amazed that people take him as seriously as they do.

OK, I will. Run, do not walk, RUN and get yourself a sense of humor before your head explodes with all that righteous indignation. :D

Elfen,
Well, nice try but I'm just a name on here and so no one knows who I am and therefore I cannot prove injury by your statement. Robert Conrad is not unknown and he relies on his name. What I can do is attempt to forward your posts onto Mr. Conrad if I was seriously inclined. He won't do anything and I'm well aware of that. But that doesn't mean you aren't in the wrong here. You are always very mean-spirited and it's clear that you lack respect and self-blah blah blah
ROFL

You all can't take a joke so I've removed my posts.

Yeah Sikboy, I thought his posts were good. I've been squelched before, but this is the first time I've seen someone squelch themselves. I need a ruling here- does Steven count as a squelch?
Steven, send me your address. I want to send you an "I'm An fluff'n Squelcher" t-shirt even if you DID commit cyber-suicide.
-
Could you bring some Elfluff'n Squelcher T-shirts to the Planes of Fame Airshow? I will happily squelch ya for the honor of a shirt!

The greatest part of this thread? There will be a young man just like Elf who will probably be in your presence helping you out in a nursing home in 30 years or so, or maybe Mayor of your local retirement community..."you reap what you sow"...that'll be a Kodak moment for the like of Sandman and Midnight who laugh it up today. ;) :D
-
I only hope my nurses aide is half as clever. I will die laughing with a smile on my face. :D

Gee, thanks Dad. :)
When I get old enough that my acidic sense of humor starts to lose it's bite, I'll be ready for a dirt nap anyway.
It's the way we are. For example, some people find slapstick funny. I don't. I much prefer irony, sarcasm and satire.

Oh yes..I can see it now..Sandman, confined to a wheelchair and unable to speak due to multiple strokes and Midnight, still in control of his bodily functions but suffering from Alzheimers...DAMN Ripsnort, how in the HELL do you know how to get me off? Dude, you should open a freak's website because many of us would be willing to pay for the kind of sexual release you can provide.

What? Squelch him, and miss out on gems like this?

Hell yea Robert Conrad inna F4 Cockpit :cool:
Call the fire department to cut em out.
-
LMAO, didnt know that little question would generate 47 answers with such a lot emotional impact.
And about BBBS and Robert Conrad, in the syncronised german version, the series has really some good verbal humor and jokes. I never really watched it for it's "reality" but as a good entertainment.
-
ok...
what type of F4 they used ?
Its couple years ago since it ran in german tele.
and what typ of planes used the japanese ?
any answers ?
thx
-
F4 were a wild mixture of everything past 1-D.
Japanese used "Zekes", thing it is some kind of single seat US-Trainer that was repainted and restyled.
I have about 12-15 episodes on VHS.
-
I need em all.
Next time we meet i have to copy them.
