Mannix In Hippieland!

Mike Connors, who played the tv detective Mannix, died yesterday at the age of 91. If you are of a certain age, you will remember that Mannix was a hit tv show for a number of years in the late sixties and early seventies. Mannix was a hip young detective who smoked a lot, chased people in his car a lot and was prone to physical violence, In other words, it was like any other cop/detective show of the era.

Here is a clip from an episode in which Mannix enters a hippie club and experiences the generation gap first hand. And, of course, things quickly turn dangerous. It's a pretty funny clip. Incidentally, Buffalo Springfield is the band on stage at the club.
