फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
McGavin, tired, depressed, alone and lonely drinking milk from the carton: an image seared in the mind from 1968. I did all I could to watch every episode of this high point in the skilled acting of Darren McGavin. The atmosphere, the ethos, of "The Outsider" captured its title exactly. While I am sure that no reference to Camus' "L'Etranger", so frequently translated as "The Outsider", was meant, nevertheless there were resonances of the existential anti-hero of the famous book.
While the plot lines and stories escape me...I was pretty young then...I remember the show.
My dad used to love this series. I remember him being pretty amused by the credits where Darren opens his fridge and slugs down some milk only to discover it had gone over.
The show and actor were soon, and forever, nicknamed "Sour milk" in our house.
Later I caught the premiere of the "Night Stalker" movie. I was hooked.
Darren presented himself in most of his characters, in such a way that you wish that you could have known him personally. He was the irascible uncle with the heart of gold.
Darren passed away this last weekend. The world is poorer for his passing.

Flash in the pan in spite of a strong star.
It was O.K., but frankly fell into the species (genus?) of L.A. P.I., not the most original idea. In a way, however, THE OUTSIDER may have anticipated the wildly successful ROCKFORD FILES, with its small-time and financially struggling sole proprietor, but the latter was far more lively, stocked with interesting characters, and had a whimsical touch. The T.V. movie which preceded THE OUTSIDER, if I recall it accurately after more than thirty years, promised more than the series subsequently delivered. Too bad, because Darren's good.

Roy Huggins, Darren McGavin, and "The Summer of Love" combined to give us a classic, though short-lived, everyman hero of truth, justice, and the American way. David Ross didn't get the girl or the reward or fame or wealth. He got beat up regularly and his clunker Plymouth usually received another undeserved dent, but he had ethics and he knew sh** from shinola. When he was reincarnated a few years later as Jim Rockford, the endings got happier (and more contrived) but for David Ross the calvary didn't come over the rise in the nick of time and the villain didn't always get his just desserts. That's the way real life is. I'm only sorry that the world didn't have David Ross to kick around for a few more seasons.
I had never seen this show when it was on the first time as I was working 2 jobs at the time. This show was on one of the cable channels over the weekend. The only reason I watched it was the fact that I like Darren McGavin. This was not the tough Darren that played Mike Hammer or Kolchak but a very toned down character with no bite. The story line was awful and right out of the private-eye tv show cookie-cutter scripts of the time. I will never bother watching another episode again.

- ट्रिविया"The Outsider" follows the exploits of David Ross, an orphaned ex-con, framed for a murder he did not commit. Ross is a loner, living in a world that loathes him, as he plies his trade as a Los Angles private investigator, trying to ease his financial woes while solving other people's problems.
This scenario is strikingly similar to both the 1970s drama-comedy series "The Rockford Files" and the 1957-1962 Western series "Maverick", and the protagonists of all three share the same basic heroic archetype - the misunderstood knight-errant who is wrongly perceived as dishonest. Across the trilogy, the Mavericks, Ross and Rockford all typically find themselves weighing a financial windfall against a moral dilemma, with their consciences (almost) always trumping their wallets.
Not surprisingly, all three were created by producer-writer Roy Huggins.
