At the opening a woman with a very provocative, breathy voice says, "It's Burke's Law!" It is fun to see the list of guest stars like on "The Fugitive" and "Route 66" and reminds you again of the talented performers in those years.toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-9528834968292924212015-01-11T09:03:19.814-05:002015-01-11T09:03:19.814-05:00Glad to see there are quite a few Burke's Law ...Glad to see there are quite a few Burke's Law fans! The first episodes of the 1st season, were amazingly good, solid writing, funny lines (at first, the young detective was basically Sherlock Holmes, knowing something about every single subject that came up) and crazy good guest stars.<br />As mentioned above, several episodes are on youtube, and if you type in Amos Burke, Secret Agent, you can see those shows tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-48850228208659525952015-01-05T13:48:51.926-05:002015-01-05T13:48:51.926-05:00Loved Annette playing against type.

However, she does mention in her autobiography how uncomfortable she was in this role and how Gene Barry had to walk her through their kissing scene several times. This convinced her at the time that she wasn't cut out to be an actress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-33596207162257435602015-01-05T08:48:17.337-05:002015-01-05T08:48:17.337-05:00I get a great kick out of the format and guest sta...I get a great kick out of the format and guest stars, who look like they are having a blast, on "Burke's Law". I wish the second season would be released on DVD. My shelf looks so lonely. It was a mistake to switch over to the "Secret Agent" brand, especially as they remained in black and white. Plus, I would have liked more of the original set-up.<br /><br />Some of my favourites are "Who Killed Snooky Martinelli?" with Gene singing, "Who Killed WHO IV?" with its wacky dream sequence, "Who Killed Sweet Betsy?" with Carolyn Jones as triplets, and "Who Killed Super Sleuth" where they spoofed famous literary detectives. Good times!

Everyone involved with the show insisted that the "International Man of Mystery" format change was a network edict.

The show I remember the most was called "Who Killed His Royal Highness?" which had a guest cast of Elizabeth Montgomery, Telly Savalas, Gale Storm, Mickey Rooney, Bert Parks, Lurene Tuttle, Sheldon Leonard and Linda Darnell in her last appearance before her death. What show today could match that in an entire season and this was one episode!! <br /><br />The Frankie & Annette ep sounds like fun if they ever reschedule the show I'll keep an eye out for it,joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
