Honey West "Live a Little... Kill a Little" #1.5 (1965) (TV)

"Ridiculous. Ocelots don't eat sandwiches.", 30 June 2015

Honey is hired by a prominent attorney to find his missing sister. But before she can find the girl, she finds a whole lot of trouble.

Live a Little...Kill a Little isn't a particularly strong Honey West episode. This is not the episode I would use to introduce someone to the series. The plot is weak and too predictable. And with only a 25 minute runtime, there's a surprising amount of filler. Do you remember how long it takes to dial a rotary phone? How about doing it two times?

The few highlights for me were Sam and Honey's final fight scene with the bad guys and Honey's undercover work in the dance hall. I can't really blame the guy for buying all those tickets after one dance with Honey.

In the episode's edition of Name That Character Actor, we have a small part played by Herb Edelman. In his long career, Edelman appeared in everything from the original The Odd Couple movie to a recurring spot on The Golden Girls.
