#TheBoldOnes s1e8 (1969) - 8/10
Engrossing.
This one opens at the end of a murder trial. #JosephCampanella and #JamesFarentino have successfully defended #MelTormé. The thing is, he's guilty! Then #GeorgStanfordBrown is arrested for the same crime. What can they (and mentor #BurlIves) do without getting disbarred?
An intriguing story idea. It's as much about the concept/execution of privileged information as it is about the case. And it works really well. Quality drama.
#Baywatch 056 (1993) - 10/10
One of my favourite episodes.
#JosephCampanella (#TheBoldOnes, #SpiderMan: The Animated Series) guest stars as Mitch's dad.
Unusual for Baywatch, we open with a lengthy night-time sequence where the regulars are out searching for the body of a missing 12-year-old boy. Grim. No punches pulled, either.
There's no crime in this one. Just 2 character-driven stories, 1 for Mitch and 1 for Summer. Both are low-key and well done. References are made to the way ...
#TheMaryTylerMooreShow s5e8 (1974) - 8/10
#JohnSaxon (#TheBoldOnes, #FalconCrest) guests.
It’s a smart script, asking much the same question as 1989′s #WhenHarryMetSally…
Ted reckons any man who isn’t making moves on Mary must be gay. Meanwhile, married Phyllis is jealous because she was “dating” him first. As friends.
The funniest scene is probably when Mary confides in Lou. And Murray. And Ted!

#TheBoldOnes s1e13 (1969) - 8/10
Intelligent drama.
Surgeons #BradfordDillman and #JohnSaxon butt heads over the application of an experimental technique.
But, in keeping with the mature tone of the show, they remain professional and cordial throughout. Even when Dillman’s character leaves the Craig Institute to set up shop somewhere else.
There’s also a million-dollar grant in the picture, adding even more conflict.
My 355th #TVReview of 2023. Averaging 2h13m of TV, per day.
#TheBoldOnes s1e3 (1969) - 8/10
Dry, well-meaning crime drama.
#HariRhodes and #LeslieNielsen investigate the murder of a City Commissioner, who may or may not have been corrupt.
As much as the script is about the crime, it’s also about the inevitability of corruption and graft in high-level politics.
The investigation puts a halt to a major urban renewal project, sparking talk of race relations and potential riots.
#TheBoldOnes s1e11 (1969) - 9/10
Medical emergency in space!
#TerryCarter (#BattlestarGalactica), #YaleSummers (#Daktari) and #TedHartley (#ChopperOne) are about to land on the moon when disaster strikes. Can #JohnSaxon’s blood save the day?
The drama is low-key but gripping. No OTT melodramatics here. Everything feels real, almost like a documentary.
