Happy Birthday to Mike "Touch" Connors, who's 84 today. (and with any luck, my S2 DVDs will arrive in the mail today) Mike Connors IS Mannix! Happy birthday Joe!

As a major, major fan of Steve Ihnat, thanks so much for posting those screencaps! I've yet to acquire this set, but now I'm going to have to.... Feel free to share more. ; ) Here are some more about Gus Keller.

Joe Mannix kicked in my mailbox today. Cleaned out my rat hole of an office and picked up my last check from Intertect. Let the beatings begin. The season opener is a real winner! Jason Evers' performance is noteworthy!

BTW, 17 Paseo Verde has the same architecture as a McDonald's location in my neighborhood during the 1970s! Seriously, season two is looking like a big improvement over the Intertect phase. 17 Paseo Verde sets are seen in "Bag Woman" when Jean Royce gets in her blue convertible and cornered by Jim and an agent. It's actually located near the offices of Paramount Pictures. Season 2 is when "Mannix" really starts to blossom in the "overall" quality and you noticed it.

Four episodes into S2 now and I can say that I love Gail Fisher! She and Mike Connors have great chemistry together. She has a wonderful speaking voice and is fun to watch. She makes the most of her limited screen time and I'm looking forward to more. I like how Intertect is still mentioned, and he explains why he left. Peggy even visits Intertect for information and the employee there says something like, "we spend an hour a every day hating Mannix." Also nice to hear our man Jerry Fielding score "Pressure Point", an episode with notable vintage TV actors Paul Stewart and Harold Stone. Check out Stewart in Hawaii Five-O S3, "Ten-Thousand Diamonds and a Heart" as the mobster from the age of Capone, Willard Lennox. The change of producer helps the show from a quality perspective. Wilton Schiller only worked on season 1 and then the winning team of writers Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts tookover. How do you like Joe's new car? Do you remember the tank he used to drive during season 1?
