That may be the best Mannix storyline ever.

Mannix drove some nice cars on earth.

Soon to be the first Mannix on the Moon

Eh? What this means?

Mike Connors was a Fresnoid, like myself.

We’re all in space.

Hmmm. Blueshift. I always wondered about that.

Do you have a track on him, Hal?

Yes Dave, I have a very good track on him.

Well, I always hated Mannix. How about a nice game of chess?

Is this a Boltzmann Mannix or the real thing?

Not to be confused with “Mannix in Frame”!

I used to watch “Mannix.” I must have been about 10.

Oh great…now I’ve got that catchy theme song running through my head.

That is a very subdued sports coat for Mannix.

Now I want to see the adventures of Doug: The cartoon character who refuses to say or do anything… in space!

Many people don’t remember that in its first season, Mannix was about a high-tech detective who worked for a company that used computers to direct what its agents did, so Mannix in Space would be closer to the show’s original concept than were the final 8 seasons, in which Mannix ran his own agency and drove around getting into fights. (Mike Connors was a lot better suited to playing an independent tough guy than a computer-driven agency man.)

Meh. Pigs in Space was better.
