Mission: Impossible: The Contender: Part 2 (1968)
Probably the best two-parter of the entire series
Just a fantastic 2part episode from start to finish. Cinnamon didn't have much to do, but the rest of the cast was awesome. Jim doing more than he normally does, Barney of course getting into shape and finally boxing. Willie quietly being the muscle behind the scenes. Roland being everything from makeup artist for Barney, to pretending to be his manager. Sometimes these two part episodes are stretched out with lots of padding. Not this one. Each part has more than enough action and intrigue. I especially liked Sugar Ray as the bad henchman. So much to recommend about this season three episode!
Dragnet: The Big Boys (1954)
As bad as Dragnet gets
This episode was painful to watch from the point where we meet the "somewhat painful to watch" hard-of-hearing hotel clerk, to the "extremely painful to watch" drunk hotel clerk. I actually almost turned this one off, it was that bad. At least I got to see Leonard Nimoy in a very small part. To all serious Dragnet fans, avoid this one!
