McMillan and Wife: Season 04
Still a rotating component of The NBC Sunday Mystery Movie (along with Columbo, McCloud and Amy Prentiss) in the fall of 1974, the "domestic detective" series McMillan and Wife offered six new two-hour episodes for its fourth season. The opening episode is "Downshift to Danger," in which San Francisco police commissioner "Mac" McMillan (Rock Hudson) and his charming wife... (read more) Sally (Susan Saint James) connecting the dots between a mysterious murder and an antique car collection. In "The Game of Survival," Sally is kidnapped (once again!) as Mac tries to find out if a short-tempered tennis champ is also a killer. A former Naval Intelligence colleague of Mac's returns from the dead -- only to promptly die once more -- in "Buried Alive." In "Guilt by Association," the McMillans' housekeeper, Mildred (Nancy Walker), is exposed to danger when she serves on a jury. "Night Train to L.A." is a good, old-fashioned Agatha Christie-style whodunit, as a train heading to a police convention becomes a murder scene. And in the season's last episode "Love, Honor, and Swindle," Mac tries to dissuade his sister (portrayed by Mildred Natwick) from wedding a slick con artist. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
