Chapter Nine. McCloud: Keep Everything in Sync Using iCloud

If you just read that chapter title, “McCloud,” and thought that was a reference to something on the menu at McDonald’s, then you clearly weren’t around back in 1970 when NBC aired a groundbreaking TV series about Marshal Sam McCloud (played by actor Dennis Weaver)—who was a lawman from out west on temporary assignment with the New York City Police Department, who were kept pretty darn busy back then, because in 1970 they had no simple, reliable way to keep their music, movies, and calendars on their iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads all in sync. I remember this one episode where McCloud (on the show they usually just called him “McCloud,” rather than by his rap name “Sa-dizzle”) was busting these two thugs at West 44th and Broadway, when one of the guys reaches in his jacket pocket to pull out what McCloud thinks must be a gun. So, he dives behind a Ford Pinto Wagon to take cover, but the guy actually pulls out his iPhone instead. Well, of course, McCloud is relieved but takes the iPhone from the thug and starts looking at his Calendar app to see if this guy has any appointments for illegal drug pickups or selling black market 8-track tapes or any of that New York street thug stuff. But, then it hits him—McCloud realizes that the guy just hasn’t synced his phone in a while. So, he goes to Crazy Eddie’s to buy a sync cable, but the clerk at the counter (played by Buddy Hackett) can’t find one anywhere (it’s a hilarious scene). So, McCloud has to let the punk go, but as he’s handing the thug back his iPhone, a 1971 Datsun B210 careens around the corner, and its side mirror knocks the iPhone out of his hand, and it lands in the street and is crushed by a Ford Galaxie 500 trailing right behind him. McCloud realizes that now we’ll never know if the guy was guilty, so he just shoots him. Man, now that was a show!
