That's about the same here. I recall that the week leading up to March 13th we were all talking about it. The tour I had booked started getting canceled. Local businesses were closing. I went to a show on the 13th, and everyone joked it was, "The Show At The End of The World."

Sigh.

Honestly tho I just know the campy ‘60s color tv show. Can’t really comment on other versions, tho I started to watch the first tv series. It was black and white, and very radio-ish. Lots of voice-overs. Much more low-key than the upbeat ‘60s version. Sgt Friday would get MAD at those damn hoods and hippies! Give them a real talking-to.
