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

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.

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...
