No car chases on Mulholland, but Mannix does outgun the rifleman with his 2: Colt Detective Special. I want one of those guns!
Two Star Trek alumni... actually that's about average, some Mannix episodes have as many as five. And filmed in another section of the RKO Back Forty. For some reason, the history of this back lot mentions a handful of Star Trek episodes filmed there, Gone With The Wind, Mayberry... but they fail to mention probably a dozen or more Mannix episodes. This one used the western ghost town, but I'm pretty sure it's part of the same parcel. It's too bad the land in the heard of LA was so valuable - it would be a wonderful tourist destination for any fan of old movies and uncounted TV shows.
Jason Evers is the real bad guy, we know that from his appearance as the speedy guy in "Wink of an Eye", an exceedingly boring Trek episode. And Diana Muldaur, who played three different doctors in Trek - Ann Mulhall in Return to Tomorrow, Miranda Jones in the "Medusa" episode, and a whole season as Kate Pulaski on Next Generation.
I'm surprised Joe doesn't know how to fix a phone cord. I guess he's not McGyver.
And poor Thorny - whoever that is/was, gets blamed for the killings but turns out he had nothing to do with it. It's nowhere near as boring as some of the others. Or Wink of an Eye.
Too bad Mike Connors never got a guest role on Star Trek. He's maybe the only other actor that could have replaced William Windom in The Doomsday Machine - but Windom's performance was stellar. But I digress. I guess it can't be that great if I'd rather talk about Star Trek. But the truth is, these two shows made my days and weekends back in my youth, and I still love them today. I've had the entire Star Trek series on video since 1985, and I had them all on audio tape more than a decade before that, but only recently the entire Mannix series became available on DVD. I'm on my second complete trip through, and seasons 2, 3, and 4 are my favorites and the ones I remember best.
Not great but a long way from the worst - those come later.
