The Episode where Howard...

Does anyone know the episode where Howard, the main guy, is almost like having an acid trip...As the storyline goes, he keeps stopping in a hall, then "wakes up" and goes into the next scene....almost like he's having a flashback, but it's the story unfolding......Tapdancing girls in a club where Susan St. James has infiltrared.....Very psychedelic and confusing! I have never seen an episode like this....

Anyone know where they list the episodes? Cozi t.v. is not giving any description/ title, etc.

thx!

oh yeah, he's also receiving death threats, if that helps...one with a dummy in a car with a mask of him (Howard) behind the wheel

it could be 'All The Old Familiar Faces' from season three where old characters from Glenn Howard's past return to menace him - does this sound like the one you mean ?

other 'offbeat' Gene Barry episodes were;

'One of The Girls in Research' - where a girl employee (Brenda Vaccaro) has wild daydreams about Howard that are acted out....

'L A 2017'- the sci fi themed episode where Howard is suddenly propelled into a nightmareish future version of Earth...

'Love in at Ground Zero' - After Howard angrily rejects a military invitation to witness a secret new weapons test...a Charles Manson type gang of fanatical hippies abduct Him on a desert highway as he drives home with the intent of forcing him to witness from a sealed survival room their intended mass protest suicide action at 'Ground Zero' during a top secret military test of a new chemical weapon....

'The Broken Puzzle' - where Howard suffers from Amnesia following a plane crash....and something vital has slipped his mind...

'Tarot' - a 'spooky' episode re a suicide victim dead girl's odd family in a big mansion - William Shatner and David Carradine guest.

'The Showdown' - the final episode, was a Western set story - shades of Gene Barry's earlier 'Bat Masterson' show !

Besides these fascinating 'surreal' or 'offbeat' tales most Gene Barry stories are normally either big business or political intrigue stories set in powerful wealthy circles...

hey, thanks for the great reply!

""most Gene Barry stories are normally either big business or political intrigue stories set in powerful wealthy circles...""

yeah, i know...that's what was getting me...i had never seen an episode so blatently tripped-out before.

i'm thinking maybe "all the old familiar faces" rings a bell.

i'll have to find a list of episodes somewhere.

great t.v. makin!

That IS "All The Old Familiar Faces." It's on YouTube now if you want to revisit it. The singing Greek Chorus really creeped me out as a kid.
