“Stretching It” TV Notes And Some Updates As Time Inexorably “February’s” On

Robert Reed best known as “Mr. Brady,” was superb as “Teddy Boylan” in the seminal miniseries, “Rich Man Poor Man.”

Friday night/Saturday morning in a “Mannix” episode on MeTV, titled “Eagles Sometimes Can Not Fly,” Reed is a police department head named Adam, in a recurring role.

In the episode, a character/perpetrator “Teddy Reed” is killed while robbing a liquor store. (Often it is a liquor store).

Police show “Adam-12” and the fact Kent McCord’s character in it was named Reed, I think, finalizes the tangent.

Got out, congratulated C.C. on the birth of his daughter that morning, then a year to the day later, it was dinner with Dr. Ike and his excellent tennis player wife and more important a devoted nurse, Deb.

Good health, recovery and hopefully (ode to Mr. Jackson) “starting something.”
