10/10
STEVE THE NOTORIOUS BURGLAR?
13 May 2024
Classic Holloween episode, if you remember back in the day. You have to admit, Fred MacMurray had a sense of humor.

It's time for the office Halloween party and Steve dresses up as a cat? -- complete with whiskers! The party is a success, but the ride home is NOT. Car trouble, forcing him to leave everyone behind to get some help. When you think about it, is it really a good idea to knock on someone's door dressed the way he is? The police are called and they wonder just WHO is this strange guy, and with no identification?

Some kook? How about a robber? You can't help but laugh at this chain of events. And remember the Douglas family lives in Hollywood where anything can happen.

Crazy footnote; shades of the famous "tin man" episode where Steve had to walk to Ernie's school in full costume. Which is more embarrassing?

10 stars for Fred MacMurray --doing all of this with a straight face -- thanks to director Fred De Cordova and writer George Tibbles.

The cop is played by Lee Harris, who frequently appeared on STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO.

Best of SEASON 11 remastered color. Thanks again to METV for these terrific episodes.
