Remington Steele – Steele Away with Me
Wayback Wednesday takes us back to a con man pretending to be the world’s greatest detective in Remington Steele. Returning for its Second Season, the show saw some major shakeup to it supporting characters with the off-screen departures of both Murphy Michaels (James Read) and Bernice Fox (Janet DeMay). Rather than recast both characters individually, Michael Gleason decided to create a new character to fill both roles offering us the introduction of Mildred Krebs (Doris Roberts), an agent of the IRS on the scent of tax evasion who will follow Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) to Acapulco but ultimately end up on his side in a mystery involving diamond smuggling and murder.

Almost Paradise – A Fisherfolk Tale
- Title: Almost Paradise – A Fisherfolk Tale
- IMDb: link
“A Fisherfolk Tale” pulls Alex (Christian Kane) into a feud between two local fishing families. Introducing Alex’s latest purchase, a rundown boat that will likely do nothing to keep his stress levels low, we’re also introduced to his friend Ramon (Race Matias) who gets attacked by the rival family who discover his Romeo and Juliet love affair with a member of their family (Gabby Padilla). When Julia’s father is murdered, all evidence points to Ramon. Inserting himself into the investigation, Alex works to clear Ramon from the charges (which, of course, would also get him out of jail to get back to work on the broken boat). The humor of the boat, and tying Ramon to it being fixed, adds a nice layer on the classic storyline which eventually leads to uncovering the real motive of the murder just in time to prevent the two families from going to war.
