Preface

This episo de guide b egan as a collection of private notes on the program

which I had kept while watching the show on NBC in the eighties Yes I take notes on

most television programs I watch Call me analretentive Sometime in early I got

the crazy idea of creating an episo de guide and the rst edition of this guide eventually

app eared later that year Still not satised and unable to recall the plots of most of the

episo des b eyond the sketchiest of descriptions I decided to give my feeble brain cells a

breather and write out more detailed plot summaries as I watched the episo des I consider

using a VCR to b e cheating and b esides you can read a plot summary faster than you

can watch a tap e There you have it the confessions of a neurotic televisionwatcher

Not in the printed guide but available in the guide source is a summary of musical

themes and a list of quotes Remington Steele still gets my vote for the show with the

b est incidental music No other show I know comes even close The quotes you can add

to your favorite textual database of quotes to help you nd just the right signature quote

for your netarticles

I wish to extend my thanks to the following p eople who have in some way or other

contributed to this guide Dave Cavalli Violet K Jen Phyllis Mar Kenneth E Staan

Arlene M Osb ourne and Gary Will Although the eects of their work might not always

b e visible in the current version of the guide their help during the development of the

guide is greatly appreciated

All corrections and mo dications should b e sent to rjcmathprincetonedu

My favorite episo des Probably Vintage Steele and Love Among the Steele

the day he walked in with his blue eyes and mysterious past And b efore I knew it he

assumed Remington Steeles identity Now I do the work and he takes the b ows Its a

dangerous way to live but as long as p eople buy it I can get the job done We never mix

business with pleasure Well almost never I dont even know his real name

Notes

A mo derately go o d mystery We have a few minutes to piece together the crime ourselves b efore Laura

solves it though the clinching evidence the nal autopsy rep ort is hidden from us

Murphy is lefthanded

This was the series pilot so its fun to try to sp ot the dierences b etween this episo de and the rest of

them It also explains why the episo de has so much character exp osition

The op ening voiceover is dierent Same words but read dierently The music from the op ening is

more sub dued

Steeles oce is tiled rather than carp eted

The furniture in Steeles oce is dierent

The hallways and oce are much busier than were used to seeing They had more money to hire

extras I guess

Laura lives in an apartment rather than a house

abb ot and used the b o dy to sab otage Claude But Werner denies it Yes it was he who stole the barrel

but with the intent of studying Claudes wine To his surprise he found a b o dy inside So he hid it in the

warehouse and tried to scare o Laura and Steele when he thought they were going to accuse him Laura

admits that Werners story makes sense if he was going to kill anyone why not just kill Claude directly

They hear someone else coming and its Mrs Vandermeer Steele accuses her of killing the abb ot and

using him to sab otage Claude But she denies it as well She saw Wilson with the b o dy and stole it from

his car She saw her chance to undermine Claude and planted it in the winery That was the extent of her

relationship with Harry

They hear another p erson coming its Claude wearing the abb ots rob e Steele inadvertently identies

the wine as the monks and not Claudes and realizes hes solved the case Laura explains Claude knew as

well as Werner that the land wasnt suited for grap es he intended to abscond with the million Claude

admits he started buying wine from the abb ot a few years ago and entered some under his own lab el at

a comp etition He didnt exp ect it to win rst prize The abb ot didnt want to go along with Claudes

expansion scheme and threatened to exp ose the whole thing Claude hid the b o dy in the vat until he could

The story is done in ashback with lots of voiceovers as Laura and Steele retell the story to Mildred

This is certainly a reference to fties movies or something but Im to o young to catch it

An imp ortant clue actually app ears early on Though of course most of the clues app ear just in time

The op ening credits app ear piecemeal

The ashback metho d allows for lots of foreshadowing including Laura and Steeles conversation that

Mildred overheards at the start of the show

The Computer

The computer changed from episo de to episo de Its precise capabilities were never clearly dened probably

rstseason episo des used the computer but you could see the Apple and later a TRS Mo del I I I

lurking in the back of Lauras oce

For the second and third seasons the TRS Mo del III two disk drives and asynchronous communica

so I studied Laura with a microscop e

and apprenticed Laura studies a ngerprint also in darkro om

and put my name on an oce Laura puts her name on an oce

But absolutely nob o dy kno cked down my do or A Nob o dy kno cks down her do or

female private investigator seemed so feminine

So I invented a sup erior A decidedly masculine Laura puts Steeles name on an oce

sup erior

Suddenly there were cases around the blo ck It Laura with a co ok a chef an equestrienne a sur

was working like a charm geon a pilot a p olitician and a b oxer

Its a dangerous way to live Laura is attacked at the mission

but as long as p eople buy it I can get the job Laura surrounded by rep orters

done

Thank you for your kind words concerning my

plans for a total renovation of your security

Always good to work with a man who appreciates

the need for anonymity in this kind of endeavor

I am delighted my assistant Laura Holt conveyed

my intentions so accurately and precisely

You couldnt b e there when something embarrassing happ ened to one of the characters but watch NBC
