Only Alan Dale could get me to watch a show like that. Thank God he doesn't stay in 1 spot too long.And I felt a total stage acting vibe.And definitely different from the stern&flat out basterd type, but fair&manly man parts he does on law type shows. so I'll buy all his. 2 be fair,the show has an unbelievable reality era to it.And the 2 actresses "Jane leeves" and the one who emmit married make it a much more edgy&not bubble gum 50's. Hale to Alan Dale 🙆🖒
