Great show

What a great show! I had just turned four when it debuted and dont remember it at all. I just recently became a big fan when it started on Good Life TV, although they only show one episode a week! The writing is fantastic, the bits of humor between the three and young Tims knowledge of everything and his ability to irritate Burke and Det. Hart works well. Also the use of older stars works good and was pretty clever of Spelling.

Just finished watching the episode "Who killed sweet Betsy?", Carolyn Jones, playing FOUR roles (first didnt last long) was excellent. Come to find out after researching IMDB, she was nominated for a Golden Globe for that episode. Then I realized who she "was", Morticia Addams on The Addam's Family, duh me! Also the "crazy" doctor, with the english accent was one of Liz Taylors many ex's. Nice house where it was filmed, wonder if it was back lot or a real home?

Well I have rambled on long enough! Good to see fellow fans out there.

Great to see fellow fans paying tribute to this incomparable show. Possibly the best detective show ever on my list.

Just saw this weekend's episode which was interesting as it co-starred Anne Francis in her "Honey West" role. Obviously, Honey West must have been a spin-off from Burke's Law but I had not been aware of that.
