I recently bought all the episodes of "The F.B.I." because I really loved the first season. I can certainly see why this was Quinn-Martin's longest running series...thanks to excellent writing and acting. So, it came as no surprise to me that I really loved this first episode of Season Four....and it makes me eager to keep watching the show.
The story is about a communist spy cell that is trying to infiltrate a government installation in Connecticut. The first clue to its existence is shown in the beginning of the program....when one of the spies suffers a heart attack. On him the police find a hearing aid...one that is fake and contains a coded message! So, it's up to Erskine and the gang to go to Connecticut and try to find out what's afoot and who is behind it.
There were two things going for this episode...some excellent guest stars (including Louis Jordan) as well as the show being about espionage. The espionage episodes are generally among the best...fascinating and fun. Overall, a very good show...with some nice twists.
