Pilot episode for Arnaz
This episode was created as a pilot episode for a planned series starring Desi Arnaz as "Doctor Domingo." However, the network decided to cancel the series, so this is the only appearance of the character there is.
Sadly, the network executives seemed to suffer from the same myopia that most American couldn't engage with a series that starred a Latin actor, which is truly ridiculous considering that Arnaz was the co-star on TV's most successful series in history -- I Love Lucy!
The interplay between Ironside and Domingo is excellent as the two play off on each other to solve the murder in a well scripted narrative.
