re: Have there ever been a movie or TV show that was set in your profession?
Posted by LuckySo-n-So on 7/24/26 at 4:45 am to Pelicans15
I would say that Urban Cowboy did a decent job of depicting day to day plant working life of an insulation guy. The night shifts, the scaffolds, double shifts, etc.
Also the young punks going out after work and getting hammered and showing up still drunk at work the next day. :lol:
ETA: “The only reason you’re getting this job is because of your Uncle Bob.”
ETA2: I haven’t set foot in a plant in 35+ years, so that movie was less than ten years old when I was working in them. It was the gold standard. I knew many “BUD’s”. One was even a legit bull rider.

The Unforgotten is as good a police procedural as there is. UK version of Cold Case, but much better, IMO
Each season is 6 episodes, so not much wasted time.
Stars Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar, both of whom are stellar.

That would be a 211, after which the victim might commit a 187 in revenge.
A 57 is a hit & run.

Next episode, watch Dr. Brackett. When he’s examining a patient, he will check their eyes about 5 times with his little pen light. He developed a certain motion and did it with aplomb. I think it’s the only thing he could do to show he was being a doctor (other than calling for a unit of blood STAT!). I always chuckle when he does that.
Loved that show. Johnny Gage was my hero as a 5-year-old.

Lost another great 70s TV actor. Hal Williams was everywhere in the 70s.
LINK
He was most well known for his role in Sanford & Son, but had a long run in the 80s hit show 227.
He also played Goldie Hawn’s drill sergeant in the movie Private Benjamin (he reprised his role for the short lived TV series of the same name).
Hal Williams was a fixture in TV for the first 25 years of my life, popping up in just about every popular TV show during tha era…from Good Times to Quincy to Dukes of Hazzard.
We shall never see his like again. He had a good run. Right in!

He played the messy, unkempt K-9 officer Vinnie Schtulman in Police Academy 2 and fan favorite Ralph Brentner in The Stand (1994)
Also in Naked Gun 2 1/2 and The Accused.

Man, I was in LA a few months ago, but didn’t have the time. It’s on my list for sure.
I wanted to be a paramedic until I was about 10 or 11 because of that show. To be honest, I think that show and Gage and DeSoto invented the paramedic profession as we know it today.
It’s also crazy that people are just smoking away in hallways, waiting rooms, patient rooms…LOL
