Hi, I'm a little young to remember this show, but could someone familiar with it answer a few things about these paragraphs?

Baretta used to refer to his handcuffs as klinks. In one episode, he went to handcuff a bad guy, and his boss Lt. Brubaker was there. As Baretta went to cuff the guy, he realized he didn't have any handcuffs with him, so he said to Lt. Brubaker, "Boss, I ain't got any klinks."

In several episodes, Baretta would tell Billy Truman to call the PD for help. He would say to Billy, "Call out the troops", or "Call out the federalis"

Are these trivia pieces actually worthy of note?

Baretta drove an old piece of crap Chevy that he called The Old Gray Ghost. Obviously, I don't know what car Baretta drove, what he called it, or if it was an old piece of crap.

I'm kinda tempted to blank the whole chunk, but I'm new, so though I'd ask first. Optimus Sledge 19:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

This information is completely unnecessary and serves no purpose other than tossing out nuggets of useless information about the series. I highly reccommend it is deleted to conform to proper article standards.

[edit] theme song

It's true that every episode began with the song, i.e. the tune was always heard in the opening titles, but as I remember it the song was not always sung, or maybe sometimes only one line ("And keep your eye on the sparrow") was sung. Did this change between seasons, or perhaps in syndication? —Tamfang 02:34, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
