Burke's Law - Ep 1 - Who Killed The Starlet?

This brief revival of the 1960s cop thriller continued the adventures of Amos Burke, a senior Los Angeles police officer and millionaire. By now, Burke was a widower with a son, Peter, who was a detective under his command. The revival continued many of the hallmarks of the old show: glamorous backgrounds, convoluted plots and big-name guest stars.
Episode 1:
When an actress is murdered while filming a scene in a movie, in full view of the cast and crew, Amos and Peter investigate. They have a long list of suspects.
Guest's starring Michelle Phillips, Polly Bergen, Gloria Loring. Gerald McRaney, Bret Michaels, George Segal and Grant Show.

[@orbison]

It also probably didn't help, when the ratings didn't rise, that CBS might have thought, "We already have a hit show staring a 60+ star as a man who solves crimes alongside his police cop son, and it's called Diagnosis Murder."

[@jonathanljohnson]

The simplest way to "solve" the mystery on most crime dramas has more to do with knowledge of the stars than the evidence presented. No series will ever trust the critical moment of drama. when the killer is exposed, on an unknown or lesser talent. The killer will always be someone who can spar well with the star.
