Binzer as Bronson

Bart Braverman's Binzer has a face made for radio, making for the perfect goofy, comic-relief partner for the tall and perfect-looking Vegas private-eye stud Robert Urich...

So the trope of the ugly goof falling for a blind girl (who can't see him, used famously later in MASK) has the lovely Elyssa Davalos playing Kim, who we only experience a few times before she's shot and killed by Leslie Nielson in one of his ultra-serious roles before becoming a goofball himself on the big and small screen...

Braverman must have told Aaron Spelling that he wanted to stop being second banana and so Binzer goes from buffoon to Bronson, learning how to shoot a gun while Urich's Dan Tanna tries constantly talking him out of it...

Also featuring Louise Sorrel and veteran starlet Anne Jeffries (looking great), it's a good episode, but Elyssa needed more scenes as she's more an expository pawn than actual character.

Trivia
This is the only time that Dan has the roof on his car.

Goofs
As Dan and Binzer ride in the limousine to pick up Kim, the blue screen covering the back window is still visible; instead of being replaced by a clip of road traffic.
