Classic TV: John Denver on Owen Marshall, Counselor-at-Law (1973)

 This next item was previously posted at Saturday Morning Archives due to two of the cast having some cartoon background.

From season 3 of Owen Marshall, Counselor-at-Law:

Singer John Denver makes his acting debut in "The Camerons Are a Special Clan". Denver plays a singer wrongfully accused of killing his terminally ill mother (Theresa Wright). The cast also includes ex-Monkee Micky Dolenz (credited as Mickey Dolenz), John Larch (ex-12 O'Clock High), Kristina Holland (ex-The Courtship of Eddie's Father), and Mike Farrell (ex-The Interns). Pat Harrington appears in a recurring role as a prosecutor.

Toon fans know that Dolenz & Holland, who do not share any scenes together in this episode, had previously worked together on The Funky Phantom two years earlier.

While Lee Majors is seen in the open, he does not otherwise appear, given he had moved on to The Six Million Dollar Man:


Keep in mind this was 5 years before Denver made his film debut in "Oh, God!" with George Burns.

Rating: A.
