'I want them blown a-way....'


Does anyone know the name/# of the episode in which a gangsta named "Silk" uttered this memorable (to me, at least) line?

Thank you.

P.S. Any news on DVD release?

I am going to research that, becuase I kind of remember that too.
Silk, I was thinking was an episode with Earl Holliman, but I'm not finding it.

Thanks so much, Altpensacola.

A friend of mine used to crack me up imitating him, and now, when I find myself peeved, shall we say, I utter that immortal line, lol.

I've checked everywhere. I'm not finding anything, they only have a few episodes synopsis listed on the fan sites.
I did find a wav file of that great theme song, and that's cool.

Then I remembered a character in a Law & Order episode named Silky, and was wondering if we were confusing the two. But I think not.

Wasn't this scene when they were held up in a house, and maybe the swat team was after them? What am I thinking?
Anything else you remember?
Or was Earl Hollimon in this one?
I am still going to looking.
Sometimes it takes a while, I just found some info on another show I was looking for, and I started that search at least 3 years ago!

Did you know that Police Woman is on DVD but this isn't? I guess Angie Dickenson or someone has better agents!

I really appreciate you trying to get to the bottom of this.

I don't remember anything else, and I don't think he does, either. (The 70s are kind of a big blur, if you know what I mean, lol.)

I'm bumping this because I still want some 411 on this!

(Thank you.)

the closest I can place was an ep with Chuck Connors as the head of group of robbery investigators; he was briefing his team as to what to expect of the suspects & to capture them if they could. When one of the detectives asked that to do if they put up a fight, Connors responded, "Blow 'em outa their socks..."

Hi. Thanks for everyone's effort and input. Silk was a pimp/drug dealer/gangster who wanted his crew to vanquish his enemies, telling them "I want them blown a-way".
