And if you guess right, you describe an episode and the next person guesses that show.
Decent guy played by Larry Linville helps out a stranger played by Dick Van Dyke who wants to return the favor…by possibly murdering Linville’s wife.

I’ve posted about that too

I posted about it in 2019
The TZ episode was named “A Game of Pool”, a pretty straightforward title.
