I never get tired of Perry's superior smile, Della's warmth, Paul's sleazy playfulness, Trag's sardonic wit and Hamleton Burger's temper tantrums.
The scripts are awfully good and there are some good performances , but the ingénues tend to be weak. It's a real treat when you get a sassy one that really can act, like a young Ellen Burstyn or Margaret Obrien.
That one with Victor Buono as a beatnik and Arlene Sax as the beat girlfriend was spectacular . Zazou Pitts as the Dotty landlady...
Some of these really stood out. When Paul or Della were in trouble , when they were chasing cop killers, when kids were in trouble , they rose to the occasion.
I watched this with my family first run. We all loved it. I was so excited when the series came out on DVD.
