Not to mention drugged (as in the previous episode), and at times slapped (as in, not all ladies were smitten with him) :D

^ I also just viewed this episode. Joe's quest to clear his client David Barker (played by John Colicos, who also appears in the series pilot) proves to be borderline exasperating not just for Joe but likely for viewers as well. Joe even takes out his frustrations on Peggy, who holds her...

Doug, great review and I'll be looking forward to your take on Episode 7... Just watched S2, E8, "Who Will Dig the Graves?" with Linda Marsh (c.f. S1E4 "The Many Deaths of St. Christopher"). This episode takes Mannix to a Navajo reservation in New Mexico (my home state!) in search of a woman...

As I alluded to a few days ago I was re-watching some of the first few episodes of S2, and I'll share on S2, Ep 6, "A Copy of Murder", guest-starring Barbara Rush, Clifton James Mannix is tasked to investigate the death of an author (who was writing a book about a real-life murder). Barbara...

Happy Birthday, Mike Connors! May you rest in peace

I enjoyed the first season unto itself but it is clear the true Mannix begins to really shine in this season (which is synonymous with Mike Connors coming into his element with the role). I already see a little more compassion on Joe's part--a countenance that's more down-to-Earth. Even the...

This episode I remember now and it had a clever script and Mike Connors took full advantage of that. I loved the remark from Mannix about giving "these computers something to do, it'll keep them off the streets". And yes Ted Cassidy was great if not a bit comical as the super-tall Montoya. It...

Wow, thanks Doug Wallen for your gestalt on these various episodes. I agree that S1E15 "Falling Star" is not the greatest and it's one of those that could have appeared on any show. Not one that I would envision as a "Mannix" episode. I haven't posted in a while but I did finish Season 1 and...

Good points and I agree. I actually like the pacing of Mannix a lot. Very little "unnecessary" footage. And that's what I was talking about when I mentioned the scene transitions...they eliminate all the traveling but yet transition beautifully. It's quite refreshing. I just thought that...

"Live in the present tense. Live not in the present tensely..." -Bette Davis

I watched S1E10, "Coffin for a Clown" last week and don't remember much about it except: 1.) we get to hear Mannix speak Armenian, and 2.) that Norman Fell guest stars as a dentist(?) and gives a pretty compelling performance. S1E11, "A Catalogue of Sins", is my least favorite so far in terms...

Speaking of Hitchcock-like touches, I just watched S1E9, "Huntdown", which I found to be the most intriguing episode so far. Here Mannix goes to a very small town on the only assignment Lew is willing to give him since he has a broken ankle: to obtain a signature and bring it back. The...

Last week I forgot to comment about S1E5, "Make it Like it Never Happened", about a young girl who "rents" a detective (whom of course would be our hero, Joe Mannix) to help exonerate her father who is awaiting execution. I would say Joe has a great rapport with kids and yet takes kid clients...

I ordered and received the first season on DVD last week and watched the first 4 episodes as part of a girls night *in* and also the 5th episode on my own. I don't know where to start but to say that my favorite of the first 5 is definitely Episode 4, "The Many Deaths of St. Christopher"...

Definitely sad. When Mannix came on TV Land in 1996 or so and I started watching it, I recall my dad telling me that while he was doing his residency that his team did a minor operation on Connors. What stands out about that convo with my dad is him telling me that Connors was one of the...

Hello all! I am brand new to this forum and I'm sorry I don't have a thumbnail yet. Also I am not a movie reviewer, I'm just a fan. Since there has been so much in the way of excellent dialogue and reviews of Mannix episodes in this thread, I don't know how to quite jump in except to say...
