these two were real men. for those of you that are old enough to remember (or were lucky enough to find it on reruns), these guys were my heros growing up. straight-laced jon baker (played by larry wilcox) with his ever present honesty and moral compass. Frank Poncherello (erik estrada), always popular with the ladies, somewhat of a firebrand. you may be asking yourself “why is this guy posting about a lame tv show from the early 80’s?” thats a fair question. last thursday, may 1st was the 25th anniversary of the last episode of the show. i, for one, salute you, ponch and jon. thank you for protecting the hotties of southern california, and for always witnessing every criminal infraction that ever occurred between the years 1977-1983. thank you for never drawing your weapon, and instead risking your life to wrestle bad guys to the ground in long drawn out sequences. thank you especially for disco scenes.
