The court has another eventful night when, first, a man claiming to be God (the distinctive-looking Phil Leeds, "Rosemary's Baby") comes before the bench. Then Harry receives a death threat, attached to a rock thrown through a window. Harry determines to soldier on, not wanting to let the situation get to him.
This script has some great moments, especially from Bull. It's also populated with quirky characters such as a homicide detective (George Murdock, 'Barney Miller') and a jittery bomb squad worker (Jack Murdock, "Rain Man"). Guest star Leeds, making the first of five appearances (he would play "God" one more time), is just brilliant, and his closing line when he's being taken away is a hoot. Harry once again shows his compassion when he ends up confronting the perpetrator; he had a real knack for knowing just how to handle people. He has a great line when the crowd reacts on instinct to Bulls' sudden, loud slamming of a door. Dan is his usual shifty self, trying to stiff a young shoeshine kid (Gabriel Gonzalez, in his only acting credit) out of two dollars. And *he* has one priceless quip when Liz says that a person would have to be deranged to actually issue a death threat, and he sarcastically says, "Know anybody like that in Manhattan?".
Overall, 'Death Threat' is a good, engaging episode with the whole cast in very fine form.
Eight out of 10.
