Hawk opening credits with Brought To You by

Not quite right on the Pontiac...it was a '66 Pontiac, all right, but it was a Bonneville 4-door hardtop! (Funny that Burt Reynolds rocked a Pontiac a decade before he made the Trans Am cool in "Smokey and the Bandit!"

Nanlisa: The show you're talking about is "Dan August" - made in 1970-71 and rerun in 75. This show was made in 1966.

I remember it from the reruns ... he drove a cool '66 Pontiac Grand Prix!

R.J. Reynolds {Camel} was a "continuing" sponsor on "HAWK" during its original run. There were usually five or six "sponsors" during the hour, with the announcer billboarding two of them at the beginning and end of the show. "HAWK" was also syndicated as part of a "Colex" {Columbia/Lexington} package of '60s and '70s Screen Gems/Columbia 'one-season' dramas {"EISCHIED", "GHOST STORY"/"CIRCLE OF FEAR", etc.} in the mid-'80s....

Ten years later, Burt Reynolds became one of the top box office stars of the 1970's. I also read that when this show was repeated back in '76, it was to cash in on his movie fame. I also believe that he and Judy Carne were already divorced when he made this show.

It was rerun in the summer of '76, ten years after it originally aired. Haven't seen this opening clip since then.
