The Overdose Episode
TheFearmakers15 September 2022
Well every cop show from the counter-culture era including Dragnet has an anti-drug episode, and this one's basically a drag as Burt Reynolds' titular cop sits with a young junkie (who can't act very well) while he goes cold turkey...

To get the name of the dealer who provided the lethal heroin that killed another kid, but in the cold open, a friend of Annette O'Toole, looking fine here as usual...

Morgan Paull plays a beach bum dealer and Burt's his usual poker-face (for this series) and it's a shame with such a groovy title the episode doesn't work or flow very well...

Of the two episodes so far, LOVE IS A NICKEL BAG is the worst yet, trying too hard to be both preachy and hip at the same time.
