You may remember this one:
Joshua Peabody Died Here... Possibly

Yes, I remember that one. I'll watch for it next time it's on. One of the early episodes.

As you noted the Heminway novel was one of his weakest, thus versions loosely based on such an original work can have a lot of variation, and has you noted "different movies". (note the Gun Runners is set in Cuba the original novel location). Thus each film stand more on their own (compar...

I think TALLMAN got in trouble in season three, I could be wrong. I’m too lazy to wiki it. I will say that all these years later, that drug bust is maybe one of the best things that ever happened to him, because it shows what a good actor he is. Never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that ...

Karen Black's moment in the sun was brief. FIVE EASY PIECES was a big hit, but when THE DAY OF THE LOCUST was a box office bomb, her career was done for. Which is a shame, because The Day of the Locust is one of the best films about Hollywood, and Karen Black gave an excellent performance. Among ma...

also there is SOME WILDLY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR on the parts of PERRY and whoever THE DA is that week (depending on whether BILL TALLMAN was in jail or not, hee hee)- like NUMEROUS TIMES they ask questions of witnesses or say things in court in front of the jury that are SO OBJECTIONABLE (literal...

I grew up loving PERRY MASON on THE SUPERSTATION (TBS) as well as THE NEW PERRY MASON MYSTERIES. I still watch them on amazon/freevee, but the commercials IRK me. As Hibi said, some episodes are very good, some are not- and some are CONFUSING AS ****- like seriously, ASTOUNDINGLY baroque plots for ...

I enjoy the MSW episodes with Thomas Magnum. There was just one 2-part episode, right? I'll bet both Hibi and Lorna have not seen much of the old Matlock TV show. I'm an expert having seen them all multiple times. Matlock moved to Hallmark Mystery after the name change. It was on the Drama channel,...

LOL! I don't remember that one at all. Must be one of the early ones that I skip if its airing. After looking it up, I remember that one [ONE GOOD BID DESERVES A MURDER] now! KAREN BLACK was in it! (her career must've been in the doldrums by this point). Funny, I don't remember Tayback being in it....

Yes, that drunk scene is very well done. Acted and directed.

Yes, her career went downhill after that film. Just about everyone connected to it went downhill.....

https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.4-rGj9ALhMnPpIlx2K27XQHaJS?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain VIC TAYBACK did a HIGH CAMP EPISODE of MURDER SHE WROTE called ONE GOOD BID DESERVES A MURDER where he is CAST TO PERFECTION as a BOB GUCCIONE-TYPE who runs a line of girly magazines one of which (seen partially in the...

I see the Gun Runners is set during the Cuban revolution. Might be an interesting take on the story. Plus Don Siegal as director.
