It is interesting to watch some of the older shows on MeTV and other "oldies" networks. I remember Beverly Garland (Edna Reston) most as "Barbara Harper/Barbara Harper Douglas" in My Three Sons (1960), since that is what our family watched consistently when I was going up. But she had a widely varied career, both before and after that show. In particular I have been seeing her in older "western" shows, where she played a very different character type than "Barbara".
The same for Dana Elcar (Fred Reston), who I knew best from MacGyver (1985) as "Pete Thornton", and to a lesser extent, Antoinette Bower (Gail Mason) as "Sylvia" from Catspaw (1967). Both had big careers before and after those roles, which I can now see on the older shows.
I do think I saw both this episode and the one that follwed in their original broadcast. For all of season one of Mannix (1967), I was fascinated by Intertect and their computers.
It is funny that in a previous epuisode that Joseph Campanella (Lew Wickersham) was ridiculed for his boxing skills, but here he certainly managed his end of the fight. Perhaps he learned rapidly, or it was the medicine.
This was the second fight, the first that Mannix had with the men from the boat was also one of the more brutal of the show. Which is something, given the number of fights Mannix was involved in.
This episode, and at least one other season one episode, where Mannix talks about having an agency of his own, seem to hint at the future of the show where he actually does start his own private detective agency. It does make me wonder when the producers decided to make the change.
Btw, it is appreciated the amount of additional information some reviewers add. It enhances the viewing experience, even after watching some of these shows many times in re-runs.
