Memorable episodes outside the Top 40

[308GUY]

The Look was great second time around, especially enjoyed the preparation for Higgins' not quite 'birthday' which was a real highlight

Seconded. Watched it just yesterday. Interesting how after you know the "flubs" in an episode you watch for them.....the vanishing birthday sign on the chopper is classic!

"It's a......commemorative.."

I was going to mention The Look being a personal favorite, but saw that it was at #36 of the top 40. It's a fine episode and I always found the "Universal House Band" renditions of all the 1960s pop songs to be a lot of fun, for reasons of camp, I suppose.

There's also the great Holly Hudson reactionat being being left at the altar: "Do you know how humiliating that was?!?"

Well done, Gretchen Corbett!

Yes! The other flub I noticed this time around was the ski-mask

Definitely - I liked her explanation of 'the look' too. Gretchen does a great job of sounding like Alison Steele too.

The house band did pretty good with Otis Redding I reckon

Question - looking at the Magnum Mania list Little Games is #36, is there another list?

Was thinking one thing and posted another, I reckon! Anyway, wasn't that moment I quoted from The Look great? Answer: Yes, it was.

I'm here for ya' Little Garwood! Yes it was!

[Chance]

"One More Summer" is one I'd offer. I love the bits with TM actually playing football and/or interacting with the other football players, particularly his conversation with the "keecker". That part is priceless.

Yes, yes it was! I'm just trying to make sure I'm not getting fast tracked for the oatmeal and apple sauce express!!!

Gretchen Corbett is one of those faces who was always around in the late 70s/early 80s but I was never a big fan of hers. I guess she played her roles well.

That said, this picture makes me think she may have been the first Simpson's character to grace the screen!

[Little Garwood]

Gretchen will forever hold a special place in my, uh, heart, for her appearance in a Columbo episode, where she graces the screen in a delightful bikini. Thankfully, she didn't yet have her Little Orphan Annie hairdo. Initially, I thought they wanted to de-glamourize Gretchen for her Holly Hudson role, since she had a reputation as a cutie. Howeever, imagine my crushing disappointment when she showed up a year later on a Simon & Simon episode with the same mop o'permed curls. So much for my de-glamourization theory. Stinkin' '80s fashions! The lavender pantsuit is as bad as her hair, but delightfully hilarious.

BTW, Columbo episode was partly filmed by Jim Rockford's beach. I love it when Universal reuses locations, sets, and props. Gretchen was to spend a lot of time there over the next four or so years.

Also, Harry O filmed just east (Malibu beach faces south) of Paradise Cove at the same time as Rockford. The beach house used for his place at the end of the first and all of the second season ('75-'76) was maybe only 200 yards down the beach from Rockford's trailer. The first pilot in '73 was also filmed there. Sadly, the house is no longer there, but the spot where the trailer was is marked with a sign. Harry O was Warner Bros. not Universal, though. I've been there many times and it is quite beautiful. Most of the end of the pier Jim and Rocky fished off is also gone. It was damaged by storms in the 80's if I remember correctly.
