Throwback Tuesday takes us back to mid 20th Century New York and the private detective offices located at 454 W. 35th Street. “The Next Witness” is one of the few episodes of the series where Nero Wolfe (Maury Chaykin) spends most of his time outside the confines of the home he is loathsome to ever leave. In this instance Wolfe is subpoenaed to testify in a murder trial. Almost immeadiately tired of the proceedings, Wolfe and Archie (Timothy Hutton) leave the court. Knowing his only course of action to avoid his own prosecution for contempt of court, Wolfe heads off to find the true culprit in the murder he believes the accused (David Schurmann) is innocent of doing in. Unable to go home until the job is done, Wolfe must get to the truth of the case as soon as possible.

Today’s Throwback Tuesday takes us on the hunt for a killer with murder-mystery novelist J.B. Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) who invariably finds herself in the middle of homicide investigations. “Lovers and Other Killers” offers multiple red herrings in the murder of two women with romantic ties to Jessica’s old friend (Peter Graves), her new secretary (Andrew Stevens), and another professor (Andrew Prine) at the school where Jessica is guest lecturing. Of the three, David Tolliver (Stevens) is the most interesting of the lot given his skill, intelligence, and genuine (if off-putting) interest in Jessica. The ending offers plenty of foreshadowing that we might likely see the character again. Although Stevens did return to the show for one more episode five years later, it was as a different character.
