He once discouraged a visit from CBS's Person to Person show, which he describes as "kinda nosy." He prefers to keep the place to himself...
Raven (NBC) stars Skip Homeier as something called Dan Raven, a sort of semiprivate eye who shares his billing with such guest performers as Singers Bobby Darin and Paul Anka while he works his beat on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip.
