    Jan-Michael Vincent

    So many episodes that concern the single life, or rather a group of singles living it up poolside, sometimes living in their own shirtless hangout apartment complex, so far there's been about three episode and this is maybe the fourth, and it's another letdown...

    Even though it features Burt Reynolds' future HOOPER co-star Jan-Michael Vincent, who you have to wait for, part of the convoluted plot involving the titular deaths of various great looking 20-something in which Jan-Michael and also Michael Lembeck are connected...

    The two leads, Burt and his partner Norman Fell, are hardly even in this one, seeming like the guest stars on their own series...
