McCloud: Season 06 (1975)

Season six of McCloud finds the venerable series still a component of the weekly NBC Sunday Mystery Movie anthology, appearing in rotation with Columbo, McMillan and Wife, and McCoy. The first of the season's seven episodes (each running two hours) is "The Park Avenue Pirates," in which transplanted New Mexico lawman Sam McCloud (Dennis Weaver) takes on racketeers who have assumed control of a Manhattan record company. In "Showdown at Times Square," McCloud helps an aging Native American (Chief Dan George) save his grandson from a vicious street gang. In "Fire!," McCloud's sweetheart, journalist Chris Coughlin (Diana Muldaur), is victimized by an arsonist. A gang of paroled bank robbers convince themselves that McCloud has absconded with their stolen loot in "Three Guns for New York." In "Our Man in the Harem," a beauty pageant serves as a front for a gang of kidnappers in the employ of a Middle Eastern potentate. McCloud and his police colleagues face a terrifying variety of crises during a crippling snowstorm in "The Day New York Turned Blue." And in the season finale "Night of the Shark," McCloud tangles with American mobsters -- in Sydney, Australia. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
