Friday Night Video

There are fondly remembered shows from my past that have aged nicely... and there are those that haven't. For years I've wished that a show called "Switch" would come out on DVD. Now, after seeing this mercifully short clip, I'm thinking maybe not.

This show played for a couple of years, beginning in 1975 and was about a former cop (Eddie Albert) and a former con man (Robert Wagner) who teamed up as partners in a private investigating firm. I used to watch this with Mom and Dad, and I remember the show as being kind of clever.

I will say that I like Eddie Albert in just about everything I've seen him in- old talk shows included, and my respect for him- not only as an actor, but as a human being, has only grown the more I've learned about him.

And to be fair, maybe it's best not to judge the show from this one clip. Maybe. That said, enjoy.
