PRODUCER DAVID GERBER

When I was growing up, the name "David Gerber" was one you saw a lot if you actually paid attention to television series' opening and closing credits.

This morning when I read the news that television producer David Gerber has passed away, I went blank and could not immediately make the connection... probably because he had so many credits to his name.

I used to watch Police Woman when I got home from school every day instead of diving into my homework. (The series was still running in prime-time but WGR was stripping the earlier episodes at 5pm, weekdays.) Yes, Angie Dickinson was hot, but so too was Earl Holliman. And Charles Dierkop had an interesting face. I do not remember any particular plots but Police Woman was one of many "seventies cop shows" that we all watched.
