BJ and the Bear - Episode 1.09 "Crackers" (1979) Part 1/5 Monday, March 14, 2011

This is an episode of "BJ and the Bear". Aired on April 28th, 1979. Teleplay: Michael Sloan Story: Michael Sloan & Glen A. Larson Director: Michael Caffey +++++ An impressive guest cast - Christopher Connelly, Luke Askew, Richard Bradford, John Fiedler, Edd Byrnes - adds weight to this thinly plotted BJ AND THE BEAR episode. BJ (Greg Evigan) tries to collect $85 in damages from the drunk driver who ran him off the road, but the culprit, town boss Jason Rockman (Byrnes, best known from 77 SUNSET STRIP twenty years earlier), has him tossed out and beaten up. BJ takes a job from pretty psychiatrist (Leann Hunley, later on DYNASTY) to transport some of her mental patients to the local fair for the afternoon, but an obstinate Rockman sends the local sheriff (Bradford) to the fairgrounds to bust up the fun. It all gets weird from here, as though Sloan was trying to fill the hour. BJ rescues a frightened girl stranded atop a Ferris wheel, then chases one of the patients, the not-so-crazy Hilts (Connelly), in a stock car pursuit after Hilts kidnaps Rockman to get him to give BJ the $85. +++++ To my fellow Divas: Here is one of Leann's pre-Days appearances, hope you like it. Crazy to see her in a show she's done when she was our age... LOL ... dammit she was so beautiful back then and is still unbelievably stunning these days! I really really hope Leann will find a new project and return to our screens soon, but until then enjoy the leanntastic CUTESPLOSION here on YT! +++++
