From 1982-83 :: “Hill Street Blues” Season Three Complete

I’ve been a busy little bee getting Jon’s HILL STREET BLUES episodes capped and in the gallery. I have season three for you this time. Infamous for Jon’s characteristic Fletcher Daniels bluster and for the episode where poor Daniels had to undergo rabies shots due to having been bitten by a rat (Moon Over Uranus), and my favourite episode Rain of Terror and the scene where Daniels is playing racquet ball when Frank Furrillo (Daniel J. Travanti) comes in and gets reamed by Daniels. I also have a treat of a couple of stills from that episode. Enjoy.

From 1981-82 :: “Hill Street Blues” Season Two Complete

I’ve finished Jon’s work from HILL STREET BLUES season two. This was the season where Fletcher Daniels underwent surgery for his piles. Further proof of Jon’s comedic timing that came to bear later on in MAJOR DAD where he starred as Major General Marcus Craig.

From 1981 :: “Hill Street Blues” Season One Complete

I’m finally at the point where I’m screencapping Jon’s work on HILL STREET BLUES where for seven years, he played the pompous Chief-Of-Police Fletcher P. Daniels. I remember when I used to watch this show when it was on the network original airing, I always used to wait for Daniels to show up to make Frank Furillo’s (Daniel J. Travanti) day a complete and utter hell. There was always something Daniels had to bitch about. This is probably where I found Jon. I thought he was so handsome and I loved how he played Daniels with such cockiness, not to forget the weekly strutting. The show was a landmark in the annals of television in the quality of the writing and the ensemble actors that were showcased weekly by the excellence of series creator Steven Bochco, and who can forget the main theme by Mike Post. I used to love the relationship between Furillo and Joyce Davenport (Veronica Hamel). I loved it when she called him “Pizza Man.” Travanti and Hamel were so gorgeous together and I so wanted to look like her. Anyway I’m just so happy to finally be adding Jon’s work in HILL STREET BLUES to the gallery. Please enjoy.

From 1998 :: “JAG” – E3X24 To Russia With Love

Another addition, this time Jon’s guest starring role on the CBS television series JAG as Frank Burnett. The episode had to deal with the lead character’s father. Jon looked dapper as always. He aged very well and I love the clothes they had him in. Not ‘old guy-ish’. Ironically Jon’s wife in this episode was played by actress Christina Pickles. Anyone remember where they’ve heard that name before? Yep, Jon and Christina starred in the 1987 live action film MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE where Jon played the part of Duncan Man-At-Arns and Christina played the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull. Small world. I’m wondering if they had any ‘war’ stories to share?

“Law & Order” 2 Episodes Added

Jon appeared, as many did, in more than one episode of the NBC procedural drama LAW & ORDER. The first was from the fifth season titled Guardian where he played the part of Jerome Kamen, a slippery accountant who couldn’t keep his hands out of the family coffers. The other episode was titled Surrender, Dorothy. Here Jon played the part of a marriage therapist who believed in the notion of the ‘surrendered wife’ where she totally acquiesces to her husband. Jon played Dr. Harlan Graham, the father-in-law in whom she was having an affair and he had to kill her. Shame on you Jon. Here are the screencaps from both episodes.
