Season 2 Lapse in Episodes


I noticed that in Season 2, there weren't any episodes in March or April. After "Deadly Maneuvers" on Feb. 28, 1984, the next episode was "Semi-Friendly Persuasion" on May 8, 1984. Does anyone know why they went over 2 months between episodes?

Don't know if it's the reason. but George Peppard was seriously injured filming "When You Comin' Back, Range Rider?", so it could be that shooting for the rest of the series was delayed, and they had to take a break to catch up.

(He fell from the train whilst performing his own stunts.)

I find concussion quite invigorating.

He never performed his own stunts usually. You can always tell a doppelganger.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Barbara Hale. You were great in Perry Mason. RIP William Christopher.

The infamous white wig! Yes, it's not hard to spot the doubles. Face being so slender, and Hannibal and BA having such distinctive hair. Talk about choosing people who are hard to double for. :D

George Peppard was a trained stuntman though, and tried to do as much as he could, to begin with. After he was injured filming season two, the producers got a lot more strict.

Yeah I said several times on different post regarding the stunt doubles. But to have a skinny WHITE guy in bad Make-up play BA is so laughable. As CJ pointed out before that their editing guy should be fired. Or something like that
