And a limping end to a pretty good series that was getting weaker. As has already been mentioned, Jack Klugman is the only regular cast member who appears here and I sometimes wonder if outfits like Universal and its predecessor (remember the last episode of Laramie?) know that these shows aren't going to run anymore so they pick the most quickie, inexpensive endings they possibly can throw together. I would have expected something like this back in the 50s or 60s but TV shows had certainly progressed by 1983...and in just the same year, MASH finished its run with a good, solid finale. And ending a series with a pilot was just...goofy. Sad ending for a show that could be really good at its best.
