Burke's Law (TV Series) Who Killed Mother Goose? (1965) User Reviews

Clever, Fun & Funny.... Typical of Entire Series

Hooray for the new free TV station, Decades, and their launch of showing entire runs of TV shows and particularly these episodes of Burkes Law. Haven't looked at this series since it's initial run and enjoying the delightful mix of amazing guests playing eccentrics of the highest order. Not un-similar to Batman in the aspect of just watching great actors having a blast during basically McGuffin scenarios. All episodes are a whodunit focused within a singular profession. Great snappy dialog, plenty of cheesecake, constant giggles and out & out laughter. Cool role reversals and surprises particularly from the guests. Currently watching Arlene Dahl as a stock car driver and episode in review here has an amazing & fun performance by George Hamilton as a mod beatnik poet. Every performance so far has been a unique revelation. I'm lovin' it!!

Her Goose is Over-Cooked

Here's an enjoyable and fun little episode for classic TV fans. It's very much on the light side, and silly puns and asides abound throughout.

Seems like someone has strangled a beloved (or was she?) children's' author with her own typewriter ribbon -- what's that!? The unfortunate lady was just in the process of launching her own television program and also changing publishers. Of course, suspects abound and the actors portraying them are television stalwarts who are always welcome to see.

We have George Hamilton as a beatnik poet, Lola Albright as a sexy secretary, Morgan Brittany as a precocious preschooler, Alvy Moore as a sleazy photographer, Walter Pidgeon as an unscrupulous publisher and more. It's no great shakes, but a fun way to spend fifty minutes.
