The Rookies (TV Series) To Taste of Terror (1972) User Reviews

Kate Jackson is great!!

[tweezey · 9/10 · 23 February 2022]

I really enjoyed watching this one! The acting was believable and some of the scenes were creepy, especially in the parts portrayed by Andrew Robinson. He was perfect for the role of Borden! Kate Jackson truly shines, as per usual. She shows her exceptional acting skills here, especially when she's frightened and crying.

One part mystifies me, though, and it's how Borden was able to actually get into the Dankos' apartment. He didn't have a key so he would've had to jimmy the lock, and Mike didn't notice it.

All in all, one of the best episodes of the series!

To taste of terror

[ritasora · 10/10 · 18 May 2023]

One of my favorite episodes of the original "Rookies"1972-1976.

Whistle "Mary had a little lamb" Lol! This reminds me of "Play Misty". This episode takes off running and doesn't stop. It has terror, suspense and lots of emotion. Really good acting by Kate Jackson. Love the creepy great acting of Andy Robinson. I really enjoy this shows different approach to police proceedurals. I still watch this show today because it stll holds my interest. Many actors appeared on this show."The Rookies" remains my all-time favorite show with my all-time favorite TV couple. Love You Kate! Love You Sam Melville.

Rest easy Sam.

Jill Is Stalked

[Jimmy_the_Gent4 · 15 December 2018]

Mike is due in court to testify against a burglar he arrested, the man's brother is seeking revenge by terrorizing Jill.

A good episode, starts off well but ends disappointingly. Kate Jackson is very good and Andy Robinson (the psycho sniper in Dirty Harry) is a convincing creepy stalker. There is good suspense as he calls her whistling Mary Had A Little Lamb and leaves a raw leg of lamb in Jill's cabinet. The ending is a bit of a letdown occurring in a speedway with a drawn out chase scene.

Weak

[samwa-27311 · 7/10 · 17 October 2019]

A waste of Robinson. In Dirty Harry and Streets of San Francisco, he was given a better script, but here, the first two thirds, just is not convincing.

Also Ryker not doing anything, is hard to believe.

Ending was absurd.
