The Night of the Amnesiac

WWW depended on certain elements or themes that came up all the time. A key one was the good relationship between Jim and Artie. That is always there and is the backbone of the show (except for some episodes where Ross Martin was absent for health). Other key elements were: a pretty young lady, whom Jim would flirt with and maybe romance; a colorful villain with an ambitious scheme--often wildly ambitious; Artie in disguise (just about always with a comic angle, often played up in a big way); Jim and Artie in danger and having to escape certain death, often with one of Jim's handy secret devices; fistfights, and often shootouts; a scene or two in their fancy train. Ed Asner is an excellent actor and was good at villains, but here his character just isn't all that interesting. Sharon Farrell as the attractive young lady is very good. I think fans will enjoy this episode, but it's unlikely to make anybody's list of the top 20 or 30 shows. Still, the great Robert Conrad and Ross Martin are always worth watching as these characters.
