Watching "Give My Regrets to Broadway" (1972) and Weaver is singing a Country and Western chart. All I can say is I hope he got a little extra money for embarrassing the hell out of himself. He makes William Shatner look like Frank Sinatra. I love the show and Dennis Weaver, but this song was Hall of Fame bad.

Man, just caught that "Regrets" episode last night. I see what you mean. I had assumed you were talking about the McCloud character singing something like he does on Gunsmoke.
shareHe also sings in "the Moscow Connection" when the Russian guy forces him to because he doesn't believe the cover story. He does a song about a cop getting rich off traffic tickets... it's like a sing/talk kind of thing. Not that bad if not that good either. It's a later episode so maybe he got some good advice by then to limit his attempts at singing. They also cut away pretty quickly to what is happening to the chief and it goes into the background a while then it comes back for the end. It also didn't have that way overproduced sound you usually get.... now I want to see the other show to see how bad that one is!!
