YouTube Spotlight: Powers and Wagner, separate again

Our playlist was a little shorter than usual this week. Having a TV movie like Exo-Man as the subject of the pod limits the material that is out there. Actually, just having Exo-Man, period, as the subject of the pod limits the material that is out there.

This one caught my eye, though:



The Feather and Father Gang aired on ABC the same night as Exo-Man, though not against it because it followed Starsky and Hutch. Seems like it should be the other way around.

Feather stars Stefanie Powers, a star we saw earlier this season, with Harold Gould. The ambience of these credits recalls megahit The Sting. This show was not a megahit, lasting a mere 13 episodes. Future co-star Robert Wagner's Switch, which drew similar inspiration from the 1973 Redford/Newman film, was already established on CBS when Feather debuted, and it lasted after it left!
