#Benson s1e20 (1980) - 8/10
#DavidHuddleston (#Petrocelli, #Hizzonner) guests.
It’s a good, semi-serious story with plenty of funny lines. Something the show does very well. It is not, however, quite as good at tugging the heartstrings as #Soap, but this episode comes pretty darn close.
It also gives #JamesNoble a welcome chance to do something more emotional and significant than play throwaway moments as the dim-but-lovable Governor.
Nobody outshines #RobertGuillaume, of course. Not just for his impeccable delivery of witty insults, but for the times Benson gets to direct his righteous anger at someone richly deserving of it.
