The girl in the photo is Barbara Anderson of Ironside. I found the commentary very interesting, you don't often hear how a show was developed. I didn't know Joseph Campanella's character was based on Universal's Lew Wasserman. Doug McClure used to ring him up, pretending to be Burt Lancaster, according to BarBara Luna! Doug was a good impressionist. His series, Search, was like the first season of Mannix, with big computers to assist the operatives.
Hi again, my bad. Given that Richard Levinson died in 1987, that leaves us 78 year old William Link as narrator. You're 61 so you must be a friend, relative/associate. I'm still interested in interviewing you. For reasons documented in my latest IT upload, I've a problem crossing the border. Still looking for someone to help tell my story. Ian.
Hi Richard (I surmise you're Mr. Levinson) from Victoria, Vancouver Island. I stumbled upon your YT site while researching Mannix. It's being d-loaded free on Quick Silver Screen. I turn 70 on Nov. 18th. I want to produce/host a talk show aimed @ the over 50 demographic. If you see yourself in the Vancouver area in the near future, I'd enjoy hearing from you. I'm a cancer survivor and have a YT show. Iancsexton@gmail.com.
Even in It's time "Mannix" was actually tame compared to other shows like "The Wild Wild West" or even "Batman" for that matter. Personally, I think my mother was right, The Three Stooges" was very violent, camp as it was. The Rockford Files had about the same level of violence but got away with it by mixing in humor. I can think of a few dozen other shows with as much violence, especially murder as in "Murder She Wrote" Starsky and Hutch, Police Story, Police Woman, Cagney&Lacey.....
We loved Mike Conners,Gail Fisher, and all the rest because they made this ideal believable and aspireable in Mr. Conners fine characterization of America's All-time Favorite PI Joe Mannix. What Mannix was really about was a 20th Century man approaching middle age smack at the very beginning of the Godless Tavistockian Gender Neutering Family Annhilating Nightmare we are long now in the middle of.
Violent my ass. You want violence, Hannibal The Cannibal I and II, SAW1-4
Part One:The labeling of "Mannix" as "violent"was a deliberate slander; a cover-up aimed at removing the program NOT for it's action but for it's strong male characterization in the person of Joe Mannix. Though Joe Mannix ACTUALLY portrayed a relatively tame and gentlemanly manner;old school Korean Vet, all- around decent scout, vs. late sixties seventies "Playboys", it was that very decency married to both his brute police strength and his romantic/sexual magnatism that was "CANCELLED" See Pt 2
I wanted to watch the episode and hear what was happening, Why show a complete episode if the dialogue is going to be obscured with all that commentary?
The commentary is not only distracting, it's very annoying!

The amazing thing about this commentary is in large part it has nothing to do with the show.

Levinson/Link? They gave us COLUMBO!!
btw,I'm interested in seeing the climax from the ep "The Mouse That Died" (Where
Mannix tricks the villain into getting the antidote to a poison).
