Post by Will DockeryI only caught a bit of this one but I see Matlock was visited by Randy
Travis in today's episode... there must be dozens of these 1970=80s
dramas with a "Country Music" theme. I think Johnny Cash was even on
Columbo once.
He was on an earlier episode, his car broke down and Matlock gave him a
ride, then gave him a job painting his house (but Randy was no good at
that). I can't remember the crime of the episode.
IN this case it fits the show better, since Matlock every so often pulls
out what seems like a small guitar (or maybe it's a ukelele, but he seems
to be playing it like a guitar), so he has an interest in that sort of
music.
They swapped episodes, yesterday MeTV ran The Juror instead of this one,
an homage to Fred Thompson who just died on the weekend, the actor being
in the episode (and yes, it was a stereotypical episode where the insider
lands on a jury and causes problems when they see things from a
professional angle, Quincy did such an episode and I'm sure other shows).
So today's was supposed to have aired yesterday.
MeTV is jumping around a lot. A bit over two months of weekday shows,
and we've gone through the first daughter, the other lawyer and now onto
the second daughter. Daniel Roebuck has joined the cast as another
lawyer, but except the introductory episode (where he was the criminal of
the week) he's yet to put in an appearance. I think the second
"investigator" is gone now too, he's been missing lately.
Post by Will DockeryWhat caught my ear (the television is on, but I wasn't really watching
it at the time) was the ending, where Randy Travis is in some C & W
nightclub (in Atlanta?)as Travis is singing "Columbus Stockade Blues", a
pretty decent version, ear catching more-so since I'm typing this way
down in Columbus Georgia.
I always like the version in "Bound For Glory", two sisters apparently
playing it in the Hooverville in California, right before Ozark Buell
appears.
