A man is torn between true love and the lure of fine dining in this romantic comedy. Alby Sherman (Elliott Gould) was born and raised in Brooklyn, where he runs a coffee shop. Alby has dreams of doing bigger and better things, and he works up the courage to ask his rich Uncle Benjamin (Sid Caesar) if he'd be willing to front him the money to open a gourmet restaurant in Manhattan. Benjamin, however, doesn't care for Alby's girlfriend Elizabeth (Margaux Hemingway), mainly because she's Catholic, and he makes Alby an unexpected offer -- he'll give him the money, but only under the condition that he breaks up with Elizabeth and marries a nice Jewish woman. The supporting cast features Carol Kane and Shelley Winters. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The eponymous best friends are Jesse (Richard Hatch) and Pat (Doug Chapin). Buxom Kathy Suzanne Benton swivels into the scene, sorely testing Jesse and Pat's friendship. The film should not be confused with the 1982 Burt Reynolds vehicle of the same title. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Adam-12 launches its seventh season with the first episode of a two-part story. When officers Jim Reed (Kent McCord) and Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) haul in a pint-sized lawbreaker (Lee H. Montgomery, they assume it is the kid's first offense. Soon, however, they learn that the boy is really 14 years old, that he's been using an alias, and that he already has built up a lengthy criminal record. After a confrontation with the boy's overprotective, in-denial mother (June Lockhart), Pete takes it upon himself to straighten the kid out by sending him to a summer camp for troubled teens. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of a two-part story, youthful lawbreaker Greg Whitney (Lee H. Montgomery) is sent to a summer camp for troubled youths, where Officer Pete Malloy (Martin Milner)is one of the counselors. Although Pete does everything he can to help Greg, the boy seems incapable of getting along with anyone--and unless someone can get past his wall of hostility, Greg is doomed to a miserable adulthood. Back at the Rampart Division, Pete's partner Jim Reed (Kent McCord) investigates reports of a rampaging snake and an alleged sexual molestation. Olympic pole vaulter Bob Seagren appears as himself. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dr. Early (Bobby Troup) becomes a patient at Rampart when, after his EKG shows an irregular heartbeat, he must undergo a bypass. In another development, a former football star (played by a typecast Dick Butkus) sustains an injury but is reluctant to tell the emergency team how it happened. Also: a woman pulls a "Laura Petrie" by getting her foot stuck in a bathtub faucet, causing no end of embarrassment for her rescuer John (Randolph Mantooth); and a boy gets stuck in his own home-built rocket. A pre-stardom Nick Nolte appears in a supporting role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- 1973
Squad 51 paramedics Roy (Kevin Tighe) and John (Randolph Mantooth) don't quite know what to do with a large inheritance they've received from a former patient--until the IRS tells them exactly what do. On a more serious note, the emegency team must deal with a hard-driving stockbroker (Warren Berlinger) who insists he has no time to be treated for a possible heart attack. Elsewhere, a child is trapped in a car surrounded by high-power wires; and a teenager comes to grief during a hamburger-eating contest. Marion Ross makes a brief, pre-Happy Days appearance in this episode. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
