This was four years AFTER "Deliverance"! (1976 and 1972, respectively.)
This is one of the very best RF episodes ever. Once again, we see Jimmy get close to the big payoff - no spoilers here!
I'm flabbergasted that Mr. Beatty was doing TV after the iconic "Deliverance", but I did read that that film was not recognized as the masterpiece that it was in its time of release. Sad. Also, if you are a fan of "Deliverance", please look at "Banjo Boy's" Go-Fund-Me, the poor b*st*rd has been working at Walmart since the greedy tribe members who produced the film did not feel it necessary to fairly compensate him for his work.
