  1. Finally watched #Escapade, a #QuinnMartin production meant to be an Americanized version of #TheAvengers. Awful. Good leads in Morgan Fairchild and Granville van Dusen (very cool name for an actor, better than Bradford Dillman), wasted with other things not clicking into place. #TV #USA #BrianClemens

  2. Tonight in 1971 — #Cannon debuted as a TV movie.

    #WilliamConrad starred as as ex-cop turned private detective in this #QuinnMartin production.

    The series debuted on CBS in Sept, ’71.

  4. The FBI, season 1 (1965). This enjoyable.Quinn Martin TV series is sometimes serious, sometimes dark, at other times light-hearted and even whimsical. The scripts are however clever and well-constructed.

    Structurally it's very much a police procedural.

    You just have to accept the idea of the FBI as the good guys. Which is admittedly a bit of a stretch.

  6. Alien beings from a dying 🪐
    DESTINATION: 🌍
    PURPOSE: To make it THEIR world
    David Vincent has seen them.
    For him, it began one lost night
    on a lonely country road
    looking for a shortcut
    that he never found.
    It began with a closed, deserted diner
    and a man too long without sleep
    to continue his journey.
    It began with the landing of a 🛸
    from another galaxy...
