Mannix: Hardball (1975)
Season 8, Episode 24
10/10
Season1 vs Final Season
5 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I had to look it up for myself... METV just began running the Initial Season of Mannix.... January 2023... They just ran Season One Episode Fourteen & after all was said and done I couldn't get it out of my head that I had seen a similar Episode on ONE of the 1970's Private Detective programs starring John Ritter so it sent me to research it on THIS website! As most diehard Mannix fans are aware In The Beginning.... Joe Mannix worked for Joe Campanella @ Intertech in Season One... Episode Fourteen starred a young Lynda Day whose Daddy was the drug runner.... Several years later... Several Successful Seasons the Producers recycled that Script while adding a few things BOTH EPISODES WERE WONDERFUL... The Final run on this story of a Father successfully running drugs now switched it up to THAT Daughter's Fiancé working with Daddy because originally he needed a job and she told him "My Daddy will give you a job." John Ritter as ALWAYS performed as he did throughout the remainder of his career that ended WAY TOO SOON!

If YOU had that "nagging" feeling as well after watching either episode... THIS is the ANSWER...
