Chain of Command

Many years ago, I read a book that nominated H. Lee Montgomery as the worst child actor ever. Well, despite being in the hellishly bad "Ben", I've seen a lot of Montgomery's work (especially on TV) and think he was actually pretty good...and he's great in this episode of "Petrocelli".

In this episode of "Petrocelli", you see an angry guy (John Ritter) drive his car straight through a security gate! Soon he's arrested, as they found the General's body in the building...just after he drove through the gate. So, it's up to Petrocelli to do what he usually does...dazzling the court with an equally plausible or even more plausible theory about who committed the murder.

This is a pretty typical sort of episode with the usual formula. After seeing most of the episodes of the series, I can see why it was canceled after two seasons as the formula, after a while, got a bit tiresome and predictable. Worth seeing, perhaps, but all too familiar.
