Weird, huh.

What a ******* coincidence.

I heard that his name was really OBama.

You heard wrong, his name is Trump, no matter how much your blinkers prevent you from seeing.

I'm looking for a series about 'Robert L Peters'.... his family affectionately calls him "Pedo Pete". He's a lovable crime family boss with 22 shell companies for laundering stolen cash and 170 Suspicious Activity Reports from the international banking community. Tony Soprano had the anxiety issues which were quite endearing, this one shits its pants in public and stutters like a 3-year old with a head injury.... not quite as endearing, but somewhat relatable, I suppose.

They jumped the shark when Pedo Pete dragged his 11-year old daughter into the shower for a little daddy/daughter statutory rape action, and it looks like the series will be cancelled soon. Apparently, nobody has the stomach for that kind of satanic depravity.

Ask me if I give a shit about some fake propaganda movie written and produced and played by pedophiles and babyfuckers.

Sinkholeholic must be old like me, I watched all the Trackdown episodes. But the Trump in this episode should have been named Biden, as he wanted to build a wall around his city like our current Idiot in Chief, not one to protect the US from murder, drugs, and child trafficking like today's Trump.

I have come to find out that Lawrence Dobkin was quite the mofo. This man wrote for television, directed a ton of television, and produced a ton of television. He was the narrator of 'Naked City', the 1950s city cop drama, delivering the line "There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them." He was prolific in 1930s radio, because he had a great voice. He had a 7 decade career.

He was also involved with several episodes of 'The Rifleman'. I am an expert on this series, and he appeared as General Phil Sheridan in the acclaimed 'The Sheridan Story' episode (S1E16), opposite Royal Dano as a down and out Confederate soldier. It's truly one of my top 3 all-time 30 minute episodes of TV. He was was also in the episode 'The Day a Town Slept', and directed and wrote other episodes.

In the 1950s situation comedy I Love Lucy Dobkin played the roles of "Restaurant Man" in episode 66 ("Ricky and Fred Are TV Fans"), "Waiter" in episode 70 ("Equal Rights"), and "Counterfeiter" in episode 145 ("Paris at Last")

I love finding actors like this and discovering their enormous resumes. People like John Dehner and Richard Devon, Witt Bissell, Dabbs Greer. Google any of those names and you'll go, "Oh, I know that guy. He was in . . . "
