Robert Urich

... just got these mirrored sunglasses.

You see it in the Dirty Harry, the second Dirty Harry film, Magnum Force, where the, uh, the motorcycle cops are this kind of, um, uh, vigilante group, David Soul and, uh, Tim Matheson and Robert Urich.

And it's a fantastic uncanny image.

It's this character who's h- almost has no face.

It is one of those things that, um, I, uh, I say only in the '70s, right? Only in the '70s.

Um, this stars, uh, Clint Walker, uh, as the main dude, but you also have Robert Urich and James A. Watson Jr. Um, yeah, it's a classic for a reason.

Uh, it's pretty nuts.

It takes a little while to get going, but, um, speaking of Amanda Reyes, this one includes an audio commentary, a new audio commentary with Amanda Reyes, Dan Budnick, and Nate Johnson from the Made for TV Mayhem podcast, which I give a high recommendation if you haven't listened to that show.

First of all, the, the number of...

That was an absolutely action-packed cast with Robert Duvall and Danny Glover and Robert Urich and Diane Lane and Anjelica Huston is in it, Ricky Schroder.

Man, late '80s-

Even-

[gasping]

Carl Weathers and Spencer's Robert Urich.

You can make it, Mr. Johnson.

The Defiant Ones, Sunday right after MacGyver.

Don't give me orders, boy.

Next time I hear you call boy, it better be one around.

Spencer's Robert Urich, Karl Weather is the defiant one, Sunday.

[whistle blows]

And you remember when those outlaws that...

Robert Urich's character.

Robert

Urich, yeah, yeah.

Well, who was on Logan's Run? Heather Menzies, who was Louisa von Trapp.

She played Jessica Six in Logan's Run, and she was married to Robert Urich, who we reference all the time in Vegas and Spencer for Hire, and she had a guest star spot on Vegas.

And it's noteworthy while I'm on a von Trapp roll, Brigitta von Trapp was played by Angela Cartwright, who was also Penny on Lost in Space, and made a guest appearance on Logan's Run.

Her sister is Veronica, who was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, who Colby loves, even though Alfred Hitchcock was not a very nice man.

Tommy Lee Jones is his longtime partner and friend, Woodrow Call, who's cold and reserved and tough and refuses to acknowledge that their young cattle hand, Newt, played by Ricky Schroder, is the son he fathered with a sex worker named Maggie, who is long dead.

The miniseries also stars Anjelica Houston as Clara, the love of Gus's life, Danny Glover as their trusted scout Joshua Deets, Robert Urich as another old ranger friend, the untrustworthy Jake Spoon, a young-ish Diane Lane, 'cause she'd been working since she was a kid, as another sex worker, Lorena, who goes on the cattle drive with the men, plus Steve Buscemi, Chris Cooper, Barry Corbin, William Sanderson, among many others, and young [laughs] character actress Margo Martindale as a sex worker called the Buffalo Heffer, whose first appearance is opening the door to a whorehouse in lingerie.

And holy [laughs] shit.

My God.

And so we went back a third time, and the third time was with Skipper Damon, Katherine Damon, and she was just perfect.

And the Peter that they finally found was Bob Urich.

I mean, come on.

How great is he? Was he? Yeah.
