[GreenKeys] "I'm not a cop, but I play one on TV!"

[Steve Garrison]

Just watched the recorded episode.

 

Saw the TTY at about the 19, 25, & 30 minutes marks.  And portions of your wife!  I’m guessing that was her placing the TTY paper on the desk. 

 

And was that your “gun belt” at the 40 minute mark walking past the desk with a file folder in your left hand?

 

Your now a celebrity.  I guess if they show your face you get paid more!

Hey folks:

 

Happy New Year!

 

Just in case any of you are interested, I just found out that the TV show my wife and I were taping in New York last July will premiere next Tuesday:

 

A Crime To Remember -- The Gentleman Killer

7pm MST, Tues, Jan 3

Investigation Discovery Channel

Directv: ch-285,  Dish: ch-192,  Cox: ch-104,  Centurylink: ch-261/1261

 

 

This was all due to the show wanting to rent one of my tty machines for a show re-creating a 1941 murder.

 

My wife loves that show, and watches that channel literally every day.  I told the show folks that I could make the machine happen for them if they put my wife on the show.  I was really only joking, but the producer said: "Sure, she can play the police secretary."  I almost pooped my pants.  I said to my wife, "Hey honey, interested in maybe being on ID for a couple of seconds?" 

 

So we went to NYC for a few days, and went to the taping.  When we walked in, they said: "We also need another cop, and would you play him?  It pays $75 bucks."  Sure, I said.

 

I really don't think I will be seen on TV except maybe seeing my gun belt as I walk past the detective's desk, but hopefully the police secretary gets a couple of seconds of air time.  My TTY certainly should.

 

This is my favorite M15, which I got probably fifteen years ago from Tom Kleinschmidt.  I have had other M15s since, including one I refurbed for the local Batcave, but this one is special.  I made a little clip of it for my non-tty friends who wonder what the heck I am talking about:

Now to see whether we actually gets a few seconds on camera or not.
