Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the first of two episodes in which Richard Long guest-starred (in different roles) after leaving the series. Because it was written, produced and directed by people who never worked on any other episode of the show, and as Bailey is barely in it, it has all the earmarks of a back-door pilot intended for a new series for Long and Diane McBain (whose own WB series "Surfside 6" had recently been cancelled).

Featured review
Pilot to nowhere
This 77 Sunset Strip episode looked like a pilot for a television series that obviously Warner Brothers decided not to pick up. It revolves around married, but splitting up couple Richard Long and Diane McBain. Long is in partnership with Alan Hewitt although it was really never clear what kind of business they were in. But information that Stu Bailey brings them in from Los Angeles causes a split.
Some job they were about to undertake involved them getting involved with some crooked folks from Springfield. Illinois, Massahusetts, Missouri, take your pick. The partnership is about to split, it's a question of who buys who out.
As for the marital split McBain's moving out, she's moving back etc. Efrem Zimbalist who is friends with both has to referee.
Not to mention that Richard Long was Rex Randolph who did a turn at Bailey&Spencer for a while after leaving Bourbon Street Beat.
I can see why this series whatever it was to be went nowhere.
