Steele and Laura investigate the murder of two news team personnel at a local television station. This is an episode I remember watching in 1983. Probably because of the guest actor JD Cannon was familiar to me from the television show McCloud. It also had a clever way of revealing the murderer, even Detective Columbo would had applauded.<br/><br/>Remington and Laura investigate deaths a tabloid style local television news station. The first death is the wacky weatherman, the second one is the air headed glamorous news anchor (played by Tracy Scoggins.) <br/><br/>Laura gets to meet one of her heroes, Elliot Walsh, the legendary newsman who works for the television station telling the viewers whether Princess Diana is pregnant or not.<br/><br/>It is a varied episode. Murphy tries to break a door down only to get injured. Remington reveals maybe a bit about his childhood to a probing journalist. A white pimp straight out of a 1970s blaxploitation movie with the accompanying music. There is even a hint of the classic 1970s film Network.
