  • Title: Charlie’s Angels – The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper
  • wiki: link

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. Built around guest-star Sammy Davis Jr. playing two roles, both himself and a celebrity lookalike who is mistakenly kidnapped by some of the most inept kidnappers ever captured on film (who include The Karate Kid‘s Martin Kove), “The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper” is a goofy episode even by Charlie’s Angels standards. The Angels are hired to be Davis’ bodyguards after a couple of failed kidnapping attempts leading to them popping up as models in a fashion show, joggers in his neighborhood, and even a local television crew.

  • Title: The Blacklist – The Man in the Hat
  • wiki: link

“The Man in the Hat” is an unusual episode in that it offers very little of Reddington (James Spader) with the task force searching for their missing consultant they believe might be a hostage in a gas station in Pennsylvania. With Reddington MIA, the focus is on Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) helping local authorities to handle the situation and life back at the post office for the rest of the team where Harold (Harry Lennix) is given an arbitrary deadline by Senator Panabaker (Deirdre Lovejoy) not helped by the missing Red and Siya (Anya Banerjee) discovers a secret about her mother she wasn’t prepared to learn.
