Remember Burke's Law? It was a rather stylish series from the mid 1960's that focused on Amos Burke, played by Gene Barry. Burke was a police captain in the homicide division and was presented with some rather bizarre murders. The suspects were usually played by big name actors who ran the gamut from Gloria Swanson to Nancy Sinatra. Appropriately, this was an early Aaron Spelling production.
Of particular interest to DS fans is the episode entitled Who Killed Mr. Colby in Ladies Lingerie. Mr. Colby is found dead in the lingerie display since cross dressing would have been off limits at the time. Anyway, one of the suspects turns out to be the world weary Denise Mitchell, played by Joan Bennett about a year before she did DS. Denise was involved with the late Mr. Colby and stated that she had a habit of picking the wrong man every time. To corroborate this, she mentions a previous liason with Guy Hawthorne, Jr. Rich guy but basically a failure at everything. Turns out that he is played by mone other than Paul Lynden!
Alas, Joan and Paul have no scenes together but it would have been epic if they had. The episode is available to watch on YouTube. Okay quality but with commercials. There's also a short extract where Joan pours out her soul to Regis Toomey and provides setup for the rest of the episode. It's a decent episode of a decent series.
