Can a blind woman be convicted of murder? (Petrocelli, 1975)

 Barry Newman's 2 season crime drama, Petrocelli, is now readily available on YouTube, so we're taking a deeper look at this series. 

We'll start with the season 2 episode, "To See No Evil". Julie Kavner (Rhoda) is a blind woman accused of murder.

Tony Petrocelli (Newman) did his own legwork, in addition to having a seasoned investigator (Albert Salmi, ex-Daniel Boone) helping. Character actor Michael Bell (ex-The Bold Ones: The Protectors, The Senator) joined the show in the 2nd season, usually as prosecutor Frank Kaiser. So far, we've found 3 episodes with Bell as Kaiser. The dude should've gotten his own show, based on what I've seen of his work over the years. 


Fred Stromsoe came over from Adam-12 not only to play a variety of extra roles, but also as a stunt coordinator.

Rating: A.
