Nancy Walker as Mildred nearly stole the show every time she was on, and John Shuck was the lovable Charlie.
Hudson himself was surprised when the show was expanded to two hours, commenting at the time, 'It doesn't hold up for 90 minutes.' But for its many fans, it really did, in part because of the great cast.
'Oh,' Havoc says, 'they took him too.' A great episode with a stellar cameo by Wally Cox. Havoc describes her precious purebred Pekinese - Mac doesn't think there's anything distinguishing about the dog, so Havoc offers a photo of her husband. James and Rock Hudson made a wonderful couple, and the show did sport one of my all-time favorite episodes, 'The Easy Sunday Murder Case,' in which June Havoc's dog is kidnapped. Though its co-rotators, Columbo and McCloud (while others came and went), seem like better shows, I have a soft spot in my heart for McMillan and Wife.
