You're premiering a new show on a Tuesday in 1979, opposite Happy Days. What do you do?

 If you're a programmer at NBC, you convince producer Glen A. Larson to bring in Dean Martin to appear on the premiere of The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo.


I remember sitting down with my folks to watch this. The slapstick idiocy of Perkins (Mills Watson) somehow struck a chord, such that the series would get a 2nd season, albeit with a shorter title and a new locale, as we've discussed previously.

Rating: B-.
