I was just looking at the Pix page and recalled something that even when the show was new I didn't really like, and that was Jake's hat. I loved the show, but the hat seemed out of place. Remember, Indiana Jones seemed to immortalize that brimmed hat he wore, but Jakes hat had the look of a bus driver's of the 40's or 50's. (I always think of Jackie Gleason's "The Honeymooners" when I see it!) Yes, I know pilot's wore them, but still, Jake was a rebel. He could choose whatever hat he wanted. The jacket was really cool, but the hat...weeellllll! I think if I had the money to remake the show, the hat would be the first thing to go! What would I replace it with? I don't know, but there's got to be something better. Anyone agree?
