Robert Culp makes the show


For the era, pretty entertaining show. Loved it as a tween in 1981. Watching it now all these years later after decades of evolved sophistication in television and cinema, I found it almost unwatchable due to its age except in part for nostalgic fulfillment, but more so the standout performance by Robert Culp, which cracks me up every scene. He brought a comedic nuance to the character I didn't quite grasp in my younger years. William Katt and Connie Sellecca did a fine job, and the chemistry between the characters worked well, but Robert Culp made the show what it was. I doubt it would have lasted even a full first season without him.

Gotta admit Robert Culp has had one successful career in television, has consistently worked going back to the 50's

He was amazing in that role. Perfect. PERFECT.

Agreed, he was great. I watched it because of him.

He was brilliant. But William Katt was not that far behind, not to say the great chemistry between them. I'd say both made the show.

If you're lookin' for trouble kid, you just met the West Coast distributor.

I agree. Even when I was a kid I knew
he was the standout character. I still enjoy the show a bit more than you. I would not call it unwatchable. It's an it campy/corny but it's still a fun little show.
