Never saw any of the series of those who film stars who bombed on TV. Presumably BBC & ITV didn't buy into them. Have to say it was often a puzzle to me why some US series were cancelled. It wasn't that the actors were bad or the scripts. In the case of David Janssen & Harry O it must have been downright stupidity on the part of some TV executive. What a plonker! Hope whoever was responsible eventually got their come-uppance somewhere.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-5390753518099679582012-06-25T19:54:12.400-07:002012-06-25T19:54:12.400-07:00I remember seeing Barbard Hughes as Father Brown. ...I remember seeing Barbard Hughes as Father Brown. I can only guess that it was this pilot. It wasn't too bad.<br /><br /> I have the first half of season one of Burke's Law, but I hate when they sell the seasons that way. I'm going to wait until the entire series is combined into one box. I bought the first two aseasons of Mannix anf then stopped. Now they've packaged the first 5 seaons together.<br /><br />RJRRJRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-41302700307635454732012-06-25T15:20:41.258-07:002012-06-25T15:20:41.258-07:00SANCTUARY OF FEAR received a VHS release (long OOP...SANCTUARY OF FEAR received a VHS release (long OOP, of course). Hughes is perfectly cast, and he and Kay Lenz work well together in this light mystery, which probably would have turned into a pretty good series. Maybe it (and the shortlived NERO WOLFE series with William Conrad) was a bit ahead of its time, as the later success of MURDER, SHE WROTE demonstrates. Crime dramas of the late 1970s were action-oriented, and it’s unlikely Hughes would have been chasing anyone down a dark alley or squealing tires through Manhattan.
