Episode 120 - So If Jon is the Boy King Are Steve and Dave Men?

Fonzie, the boy king.

Again, remember, best episode ever.

Webber's Coombs gets increasingly unhinged because the gang do that to him.

ANGEL is hilarious when he's interacting with the 'artefacts'.

Odette has very odd choice in cars. 

I appreciated the improvisational elements of the scam.

Egypt wouldn't have an embassy in LA, it would be a consulate.  I just looked it up, yes, Egypt has a consulate in LA, but it is a suite in an office building on Wilshire Blvd.

Again, like I said last week, watch that Maverick episode "I'm workin' on it".

I wonder why this wasn't the finale?  We have a normal episode next to end Season 5.

Episode 119 - Never Send Jon to do Dave or Steve's Job

Yes, Steve's job, not Steve Jobs, different dude.

I vividly remember watching this one with my parents.  I also remember the three of us hoping that this was a return of Richie Brockelman Private Eye.  No dice sadly.

This is my favourite episode.

This might be the best episode of the series (both parts).

Originally this was a two hour episode, cut into two for syndication.

The thing of it is is James Garner likes driving race cars.

I think that's a Can Am car.

ROBERT WEBBER!

Jimmy Joe Meeker makes his most memorable appearance.

Many sources claim this episode, and a couple of others, are inspired by 'Shady Deal in Sunny Acres' from season 2 of Maverick.  I watched it and yup.  Also, you should seek that out, it is very good.

Episode 118 - Steve and Dave Think Jon Has Made a Material Difference on the Podcast

Man that was a long trip for not much payoff, title wise.

Jim finally snaps at Angel this week, as you can see in the accompanying pic.

Russians.

East Germans.

Wait so it is the 70s, of course.

Funny to think I was staying up late to watch Voyager on TV and it's still going!

Chapman is annoyed this week.  So it's a week...

We get an LJ mention, which is like a Dale sighting on Mad Men.

Episode 117 - Steve, Jon and Dave Return the Black Shadow

I wonder if it is still under warranty...

Bo Hopkins's final appearance as Coop.

'You wanna eat some iron?'

The rise and fall of bider culture in California was a thing at the tie.

Some fun evil performances this week.

Oh yeah, we get a Steve's Spotlight!

Disturbing one this week, perhaps the darkest episode of the series.

Come out and play Warriors
