Too much of everything

not as good as all the hype

Better Late Then Never

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I watched this show as a child and enjoyed it. It was groundbreaking to have an African American in a lead role. This show and "Julia." Would really love to stream it.

I am agreement with the previous comment. During the first season of the show I was in stitches. Cleavon Little was one funny man. The show could have been tighter, but overlooking its faults, it was a gas. Out went James Whitmore, in comes Paul Lynde, then down it went. I laughed little and eventually stopped watching. What the show needed was better writing, not new cast members. As funny as Paul Lynde is, he was not on this show. What started out on the right track, derailed in the second season. Too bad. I do not remember much about this show, but Cleavon Little and James Whitmore stand out most in my mind. They connected. For a hospital comedy, it could have had better writing, but the first season was funny and fun to watch.

I recall this series and the first season was funny. OK, so as a 12 year old my tastes were a bit different than now, but regardless, I did find it funny. Clevon Little was (is?) a comic master and was allowed to be funny. Then the show was 're-configured' with some, eh, funny people and the emphasis was taken off Little and he was made essentially a straight man for some very marginally funny cast members. I don't recall the last season, maybe I just gave up at that point. The few past posts I've done and all future ones concerning TV will show what my true feelings are towards television executives. Too much responsibility placed on too little brain power.There, I've said it.

I just watched a "Columbo" episode that either included Nancy Fox or a very good double for her. But she has no "Columbo" episodes listed for her in IMDb. The time frame would have been perfect to parallel her work in "Temperature's Rising" -- the Columbo episode was done in 1973.In any case, Nancy Fox was a "dream girl" for me, back then, and I used to watch "Temperature's Rising" each week, just to see her!The "Columbo" episode sent me here to see if she was in its cast. And in the process of checking it out, it appears that she hasn't worked as an actress since 1989. 17 years ago! So does anyone know why she left, and what she's doing now? Just curious. She was beautiful and talented, so it puzzles me that she no longer seems to be acting.
