It is a very disturbing episode. So much so that I can never adjust to seeing John Beck in any other project of his from that era I've seen because I can't shake the image of him as a horrible...

Flanders was also in "The Guarnerius Caper."
Sadly, Flanders committed suicide in 1995 after suffering from depression and lingering injuries from a 1989 car accident.

Age doesn't determine a coin's value. I used to be a coin collector when I was young and the case of the 1913 Liberty nickel is that an employee of the mint had made five unauthorized 1913 Liberty...
To me, the Shark jumps after one of the best episodes "Nine Dragons" because once you pulled all the stops of having Wo Fat go that far in his schemes, you could *never* use the character again like...
Another example IMO of how Watergate influenced these kind of stories of murderers and crooks in authority that you never would have seen in 1968-69.
Don Knight basically kept playing variants of his evil henchman role on "The Immortal" for the next decade in all his guest shots on other shows.
The brief appearance of Frances Asher always sticks out in my memory when it comes to this episode. :)
Gregory Sierra and Ron Glass in the same episode a little over a year before both would be in "Barney Miller". They join Abe Vigoda and James Gregory as future regulars of that show who did time...
I think this is a good episode. It comes in the era where Watergate was influencing scripts more and more by showing us villains who were supposed to be above reproach figures from the trustworthy...
Notwithstanding Hawaii's lack of a death penalty, I'm sure McGarrett and the Governor would have gladly had them extradited to a state where they performed some of their other killings that still had...
I'll be honest when I revisited the episode last week this bothered me a good deal. I was willing to overlook the coincidental factor of the victims all having the same jobs as their comic strip...
Nancy is actually 88 now. It's remarkable she's still in good health to be interviewed.
If "Jason And The Argonauts" had been a hit instead of a flop, she might have had a more substantive film...
I'd only note in her defense that to say "she hasn't worked in decades" is a little misleading because she basically cut back on acting when she married Zubin Mehta, the famous symphony orchestra...
Got through listening to it. It's nice to know Nancy sounds in good health despite being 88 but it's a classic reminder of how working actors don't often have a lot of compelling anecdotes and...
Gretchen's contract was with Universal, not NBC, so she wouldn't have been barred from appearing on other network shows and if she could get jobs on shows done by other production companies she could...
An episode written by Coopersmith and directed by Michael O'Herlihy was always the best combination on Five-O.
In "Beautiful Screamer", the first victim is "Linda Marsh" the same name as a three-time guest actress on the show.
His co-starring role in the 1971 sci-fi classic "The Andromeda Strain" is a rare chance to see him in a non-villain role for a change.
Sad to have lost three classic Five-O guests in so short a...
Joanna Barnes, who was in S4 "Didn't We Meet At A Murder" has passed away at age 87. Her other notable credits over the years included roles in "The Parent Trap", "Spartacus", "The War Wagon", a...
The haul of early Five-O scripts I got recently in pdf format from Script City included a title that was unfamiliar to me, "Tread Softly, Iceman." Just got it today and after reading a page...
During the thread on "The Bomber And Mrs. Moroney" I offered the theory that the name change of "Thad Vaughn" from "And They Painted Daisies On His Coffin" to "Joey Collins" was deliberately done to...
Definitely looks better!
When I think of this episode, I always keep remembering how McGarrett rattles off the number of years someone is facing three times. Oddly with Birney I thought he was being too easy on him...
I think we could argue forever on whether the episode as is would have given Black a legit reason to get paid or cause trouble because IMO once the changes were made to making Vaughn, Joey Collins...
Yes, they show the clip but because they don't name-check the character and because the other dialogue in Moroney alters the plot, they could in effect treat the "Daisies" footage as though it were...
