*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Many years ago, I stumbled on this episode of Streets of San Francisco with Arnold on TV. I know nothing about the Streets of San Francisco series, as this was the only episode I watched.
From what I remembered, Arnold was a giant body builder who has little patience with criticism. Arnold came to San Francisco with high hopes of making it big time. He knew little English and his main passion was bodybuilding. Arnold killed a woman, who was giving him productive criticisms, by accident. The detectives who were investigating the death of the woman feared that whoever was responsible would strike again. Arnold found another woman who was fond of his bodybuilding. At the end of the show, the woman invites Arnold to her home, and she gave him some constructive criticism that caused Arnold to explode with anger. Before Arnold is able to do any harm to the woman, the detectives came in and arrested him.
Arnold played the role very well. At the time of the show, I believe Arnold was beginning his acting career and was nearly ending his bodybuilding competitions career. The show could have been about the effects of steroids, as the show's theme fit around "roid-rage." If I remembered correctly, Arnold claimed to use steroids until they became illegal.
Whatever the case is, I hope to see the show again. The acting was great, and it fitted around Arnold's acting abilities at the time (i.e. little English). I hope to find the episode again in the future. Hopefully I will find the entire series of Streets of San Francisco to be good.
