Terrific series, should have run a lot longer. I've always thought "Banacek" was to Peppard what "Rockford Files" was to James Garner--the role that fit him like a glove.
Banacek was the star among all the midweek NBC mystery movies.
A third season was planned but Peppard decided not to do it as he was in the midst of a divorce and did not wish to share the profits with his soon to be ex, or so the story goes.
@mrtelevision I remember her as a blonde cop on "Outlaws" with Rod Taylor, Richard Roundtree, and Bill Lucking. Would her character on "Banacek" be considered a fall-back for Banacek if he couldn't find a date?
