The Baretta/Robert Blake connection

VCR alert for those who remember or care about this case. The “Baretta” episode in which Tony’s girl friend is murdered will be on tonight on TVLAND.

I was flipping channels yesterday and saw the very end of a Wheel of Fortune puzzle. The puzzle was “Robert Blake as Baretta.” The puzzle was missing the letter K and after a contestant solved the puzzle, the show cut to a taped message from Pat Sajak. He said that this episode was taped in April and before the death of Robert Blake’s wife. Then it cut back to the show. I thought that was kind of weird for a game show.

But diplomatic.
