1974 – Murder on the Orient Express
- Title: Murder on the Orient Express (1974)

Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to the 1930s and another case for the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.

1997 – The Love Bug

While confused by the odd things which happen in the car, Hank Cooper (Bruce Campbell) refuses to acknowledge its sentience, or Herbie’s help in winning a race, leaving his wacky best bud (Kevin J. O’Connor) to be the one who first connects with the car. And, just for good measure, we get a romantic story thrown in as well.

Scarecrow Sunday takes us to 80s Washington, D.C. and the unusual partnership between a housewife and a spy. “Service Above and Beyond” offers a simple setup with Amanda (Kate Jackson) accompanying Lee (Bruce Boxleitner) to a party where important intelligence is to be passed on. When Amanda catches the attention of one of those under investigation, and makes up an outlandish backstory based on a romance novel she’s been reading, the Agency backstops the identity allowing her to distract the corrupt businessman (Paul Shenar) while Scarecrow looks into the unsavory Russian (Walter Gotell) he’s gotten into business with.
