The TV USA Notables Challenge - Crime Fighters (May 2024)

+10 votes
464 views

This month we recognize some of television's quintessential crime fighters. From patrol officers and precinct captains to federal agents and private eyes. Most of the biggest names in television crime fighting (Kojak, Columbo, Mannix, McCloud...) already have well-developed and connected profiles. But we have identified 61 lesser-known and supporting cast members who have little or no profile at all. Anybody remember Mr. and Mrs. North? How about the dispatcher from Adam-12? ("One Adam-12, One Adam-12, 211 in progress").

Everyone of this month's Notables is currently unconnected form the Big Tree. Many have "0" CC7s and minimal biographical detail. Our job is to turn each of these profiles into a shining star of WikiTree. To do so, we need the help of Biobuilders, Sourcers, DataDoctors, Categorizers, Formatters, Proofreaders, PhotoFinders, and more. For those who prefer research over profile building, we also want to increase each of our Notables' CC7s. And of course, we want to make sure each is connected to the Big Tree.

Remember, no contribution is too small, so please jump in wherever you think you will have the most fun. Just remember to keep us posted on your accomplishments here on this G2G thread so that we can all share in the fun of your successes.

this is very strange coincidence I was about to put Hal Linden (Harold Lipshitz) onto Wikitree. I love his work on both stage and screen. He’s not dead but his wife is.

Barney Phillips is now connected to the Big Tree. If you don't remember him as one if Sgt. Joe Friday's earliest partners on the 1950s version of Dragnet, try picturing him with a soda jerk's cap and a giant eyeball in the center of his forehead and you may recognize him from an iconic episode of The Twilight Zone: "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?"
