Here's the complete broadcast of a first-run episode of Gavilan, "The Guns of Harry August" (S01E09), as aired on the NBC Network over its Chicago outlet WMAQ Channel 5. (previously posted with just the open and ending, here: • WMAQ Channel 5 - Gavil... )
This very short-lived series (of which this was the penultimate episode to air) starred Robert Urich (late of Vega$) as former CIA agent turned oceanographer Robert Gavilan; along with Kate Reid (as his boss Marion Jaworski) and former Avengers star Patrick Macnee (as Milo Bentley, an old friend of his father's). One of the guests on this episode - Michele Greene - would later become a co-star of L.A. Law.
(don't read too quick and mistake it for "Galivan")
Trivia: As viewer "Illinois Jones" comments, "WOW! The courtyard At 11:00 - this is the Cat N Fiddle Bar on Sunset Blvd, in Hollywood. I worked the door there dozens of times and met Vince Vaughn there, Morrissey many times, and dozens of others. Good memories. Nobody was "starry" there, it was like a casual Chicago bar. Famous people would go to have a 'normal' day out, and grab a beer. The last movie filmed there before its unfortunate complicated closure was Ben Affleck's "Live by Night". Also noticed it in the rare "Copacabana" TV movie - Barry Manilow. Pleasant surprise seeing this!!!"
