So many to choose from --- more from the first season, though.

The Pilot -- Sets up the whole premise of the show, perfectly... and that last speech! And not one change in it from the script is first written by Jean Holloway.

The Ghost Hunter -- Bill Bixby at his absolute best.

The Monkey Puzzle Tree -- great episode, fleshed out from one or two lines from the novel.

Mr. Perfect -- a pre-1776, St. Elsewhere, Boy Meets World William Daniels as Blair. He and Edward Mulhare would work 'together' again in Knight Rider.

Dear Delusion -- another great episode, fleshed out from one or two lines in the novel.

Buried on Page One - Guest starring a young Richard Dreyfuss as an obnoxious newbie newspaper editor. Great comic lines.

The Medicine Ball

The Music Maker - I had no idea who Harry Nillson was when he guest starred in that ep back in 1969. I still think it is a shame he never did a studio recording of "If Only" but he didn't.

Centennial - because of their waltz at the end. Yeah, I know it's Claymore's body, but I squint and pretend!

Double Trouble - You can't beat a double dose of Mulhare!

Not So Desperate Hours - a good take-off on the Bogart/March movie, the Desperate Hours.

Surprise Party

The Ghost of Christmas Past - I didn't get to see the second half of this episode for years and years. They ran it on Christmas Eve where I lived in 1969, for some reason, and we were leaving for lessons and Carols and Midnight Mass. Then the series was cancelled or not re-run for years.

Martha Meets the Captain - it should have happened sooner!

Wedding Day - Although they didn't know at the time that this would be the last show of the series, it wrapped up the best way it could, considering back then, no way would the censors ever let them touch.

How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.
