• IMDb: link

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a con man pretending to be the world’s greatest detective in Remington Steele. “Vintage Steele” throws Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) and Laura (Stephanie Zimbalist) together on an absurd case involving a dead body which keeps appearing and disappearing. The body is first discovered by Laura’s ex-boyfriend (David Huffman), a banker overseeing a deal with a local winery, who discovers the body floating in a vat of chardonnay. He successfully hides the body, which he fears will blow the deal, only to lose in on the road and later discover it again in the winery. With most of the story centered around either finding the body, which Steele takes to calling Harry, or preventing others from stumbling upon it, the mystery of how the man died (or who he is) remains on the back-burner.

• IMDb: link

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the 80s detective show Remington Steele. Several well-known faces pop-up in “Steele Crazy After All These Years” when a murder occurs at Murphy’s (James Read) college reunion. Steele (Pierce Brosnan) and Laura (Stephanie Zimbalist) make a friendly wager on which of them can solve the crime first, not ready for the fact that the prime suspect turns out to be the ghost of a student killed 10 years before in the same building. Even if the episode races through some of the explanation of just how the various ghostly effects were pulled off (and completely ignores others), the episode has fun with the concept with something akin to a Scooby-Doo! episode.
