OK, with this whole Robert Blake wife thing in the news, I’ve been hearing a lot about Baretta lately.  
Is it true that in the first episode of Baretta, titles “He’ll Never See Daylight Again”, Tony Baretta’s wife/girlfriend is found shot in a car outside of a restaurant?  
I looked on Google and could not find a plot synopsis.  
Can anyone help me?

The first is a Newsweek interview that discusses the plot of the episode you mention, and the second is a link to the only site I could find that talks much about the TV show. It appears that “He’ll Never See Daylight Again” _was_, in fact, the first episode and did deal with the murder of Tony Baretta’s _amour_.

Now, if this really were an episode of Baretta, we’d find out in the last act that Carl Hose did it.
