If you believe the current rating for "Only One Death to a Customer", you'd assume it's a bad episode. With a rating of only 4.8 you can't help but think that it's a letdown for an otherwise decent series. Is this actually the case?
The show begins with Mannix meeting someone. However, he doesn't realize it's a set-up and assassins are waiting for him. He is shot but, in true Mannix style, he survives. Soon, several more attempts are made on his life. Oddly, however, folks never seem to take this seriously enough! Soon Mannix realizes that with the death of a judge and the attempts on his life, it might be related to an old case. However, the guy who long ago vowed revenge on Mannix, the judge and the prosecutor died recently. What gives? Is the guy really dead? Or, is something else happening?
This is a decent episode, plus you get to see a young Loretta Swit in her first TV appearance. I honestly see no reason to rate the show as poorly as it's currently rated. The only seriously stupid part I remember seeing was when a bomb was planted in Mannix's car. He never calls the bomb squad but disarms it himself. Is anyone THAT stupid?! I hope not.
