Wow, the Timpani's and the snares made the music very tense.  In fact that's something that's very much missing from these dramas. Thankfully Antenna TV shows this every day.

@newstarcadefan You can also thank Hulu!

We lower our flag at half staff to the memory of veteran actor Harry Morgan best remembered as Officer Bill Gannon on the revival of the Dragnet Tv series. as well as his role as the fatherly Col. Sherman Potter on the long running classic show M.A.S.H. in which he won an Emmy. He's also known for his big screen roles in such films as The Ox-Bow Incident, High Noon, The Shootist & other movies. So long Mr, Morgan and Thanks for the memories. Harry Morgan 1925-2011 : ( ....

@yogafan6500 Harry Morgan was born in 1915, not 1925.

He was a drunk who beat his wife.

@OhioGuy19 for immunity;especially in a federal case with the death penalty, would'nt you? He had a measured I.Q. of 126, which is considered "superior intelligence". He wasn't dumb nor did he seem to be the type to be misled into anything. He showed no remorse, no regret. At the least, Oswald and Ray saw their victim; and pulled the trigger; McVeigh took the cowardly way; a bomb. A bomb doesn't make a distinction about who it kills. BTW, I put Eric Robert Rudolph in that category too

[DAngelo136]

@OhioGuy19 You might as well throw in James Earl Ray while you're at it. Bottom line: every one of those guys were in, around or at the scene. Oswald at the least, shot a Dallas police officer, McVeigh never denied his complicity, patsies usually pronounce that they are, both LHO and JER did just that. How do you account for the rental truck that was traced to him? You would think that at the least, if he were a "patsy", he'd be giving information about his co-conspirators in exchange

[OhioGuy19]

@DAngelo136 Anybody who thinks McVeigh had anything to do with the OKC bombing is delusional. He was a patsy, the same as Lee Harvey Oswald.

[DAngelo136]

@OhioGuy19 and your point is?

[OhioGuy19]

@DAngelo136 Then how did it happen that the ATF showed up at the scene about FIVE minutes after the blast, wearing full bomb armor/bomb disposal armor that takes about 20-30 minutes (and assistance from another person) to put on. The live media reports also detailed that they were removing TWO bombs from INSIDE the building. How did those bombs get in there, who put them there, what about John Doe Number Two that was in the initial report? The guy with olive skin and dark curly hair!

More trivia: Kent McCord, is credited as "Kent McWhirter". He would go on to another MarkVII production: Adam-12.
