Mike Connors, of course, is known to three generations of viewers as the star of Mannix, the the long-running private eye series from the late ’60s and early 1970s that was as much known for its cinematic style, iconic theme music by Lalo Schifrin, signature sports jackets and the famous Mannix dune buggy roll as it was for the character of Joe Mannix himself. Still popular today around the world, Mannix paved the way for the wave of private detective shows that dominated network television throughout the 1970s and ’80s, while Connors brought a humanity and vulnerability to Joe Mannix that has rarely been matched among TV protagonists. Mike Connors will join us in our second hour.

Mike Connors also wrote the foreword to And Now, Back to Mannix, a new book by JoAnn M. Paul that not only explores the depth of the Mannix character in great detail, but makes the case that Joe Mannix has all the traits of a classic literary hero. JoAnn Paul will join us in our first hour.

Also joining us will be David Breckman, writer, director and co-executive producer for the long-running private eye series Monk. David wrote the introduction to And Now, Back to Mannix, plus he was instrumental in arranging for Mike Connors’ appearance on our show.

This week’s program will also include an extended edition of This Week in TV History that will include a remembrance of actress Jackie Lynn Taylor, as well as a discussion of both the first Our Gang comedy to be filmed with sound, and the last Our Gang ever to be produced.
