She was in a ton of series since the 1960s and was acting right up to a couple of years ago. Scott Brady as the gruff hubby tried channeling his brother Lawrence Tierney in this episode (or as he played in most of his roles); Roger Garrett didn't really look like a teen but sure, that's probably my forgetting how much people looked older during that time. The best part was the in-car interaction between Pete and Jim, as Malloy continues to get curter and curter with his partner (it'll get to the point later in the series when I thought why are they still together?)...

Reed's coaching didn't work either. <br />Good call outs on first sight of the teen who is too tall to be in the camera. Didn't think about a possible hanging, as he had a gun. but why leave it on the bed? He wanted to get caught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432892204045467262.post-62547007593762531472016-05-18T14:45:17.649-04:002016-05-18T14:45:17.649-04:00Just watched this again on COZI, and I found the t...Just watched this again on COZI, and I found the threatened suicide segment just as unsatisfying as my previous viewings of it. I don't find the acting of Larry and Annie to be very believable, and Annie's repeated pronunciation of "La-ree" grates on my last nerve. (I did, on initial viewing, share your impression that Annie's lifeless-appearing hand, visible above the sofa, explained Larry's suicide threat.) Of course, Malloy & Reed are as easy on the eyes as usual, and I always enjoy their dialogue. To me, the high point of the episode is Reed's hands resting on Annie's shoulders while he whispers intimately in her ear,making suggestions for encouraging remarks she can pass on to Larry. If I'd been in her place, even MY acting might have been believable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432892204045467262.post-8947876524993370002015-02-03T23:00:46.475-05:002015-02-03T23:00:46.475-05:00"When Mac reaches four, Malloy kicks in the d..."When Mac reaches four, Malloy kicks in the door!" = Trouble no more.<br /><br />Not a bad ep, but I usually prefer when they handle two or three incidents during a shift.<br /><br />The Central Receiving set is strictly bargain-basement, courtesy of MarkVII in the early years of the series.
