I was excited when I found out Mike Connors was in a show after Mannix. Unlike some actors who continue taking roles past middle age, he still delivered convincing performances. The fact that he didn't lost his ability to keep the audience engaged spoke volumes about his level of talent as an actor. Today's FBI was essentially a modernized take on The FBI (as a millennial, I think it's pretty cool this premiered right at the start of my generation), which ran from 1965-74. Although I haven't seen it, based on the photos that were used to promote the series, it doesn't look all that interesting, I guess because it seems dated. It's unfortunate Today's FBI was short-lived. It fell victim to low ratings and subsequent cancellation from the popularity of Archie Bunker's Place and One Day at a Time (neither of which are all that great if you ask me). People must've preferred the machoism of the original series. It seems hypocritical that society was touting progression and change within the occupational landscape and family unit at the time, but yet didn't like a show that was a reflection of the 80s. Similar to the original, the episodes were inspired by actual cases.
