...Angel Live is the title of this doomed show. Jaclyn Smith is pursuing a villain who has robbed a client of $200,000, but when she tries to question him, he shoots her. Right in the head. Screams. A smear of blood beside the right ear. So they rush her to the hospital, and there, as one of the studio memos puts it, "the other Angels and Bosley reminist [sic] about their experiences...
...longer. When you're through, put in in this return row so that others can find it. The Comic Czar will do the rest." The Czar means business; he has pasted on a picture of Captain America slamming his shield into the teeth of a black-and-purple-clad villain. This rack, however, is the only one completely empty...
...joint villain is the Hubbard clan, a trio of plunderers in magnolia land. The family trade is cotton; its god is greed. The younger brother, Oscar (Joe Ponazecki), is a man with a sycophantic spirit and an ugly habit of slapping his genteel, alcohol ic wife Birdie (Maureen Stapleton). The older brother, Ben (Anthony Zerbe), is a cigar-chomping Machiavelli. As their sister Regina, Taylor salivates in her lust for wealth, power and position...

Predictably, their leader, a villain named Dirty Bob, manages to slip through some elaborate defenses and tracks McGee to his opulent houseboat, the Busted Flush. The result is one of MacDonald's King Kong vs. Godzilla confrontations that deliver a soul-satisfying amalgam of mayhem and justice...

Jonathan Spalter makes Barnstrom--again, an unnecessary Americanization from Krogstad--a hilarious cardboard villain, right out of The Perils of Pauline. He clenches his teeth, he points accusingly, he leans over chairs menacingly, he rubs his palms in sadistic glee. If he had a moustache, he'd sure to twirl it with fiendish rigor. As Kristine, his long lost love, Kim Bendheim seems vaguely robotized. Their climactic scene together is a wet firecracker...
