I used to watch this show every day in syndication during Junior High School at 5pm. I loved Quincy and Sam.

Here's a tangent:

Have you ever noticed that Sam, Quincy's Japanese sidekick seemed to show up as a Japanese soldier in every WW2 movie from that era? Oh yeah, and who could forget Pat Morita? I guess there weren't a lot of Asian actors in Hollywood then. Now it's Chow Yuen Fat and Ken Watanabe who are everywhere. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Segment from the helicopter documentary "Straight Up!", showing power line maintenance being performed on live wires by a man outside a helicopter, using a type of Faraday cage.
I'm scared of the same things as this guy (surprisingly) is. The third one I've faced, but the other two... not so much. This video freaked me out.
