i was fourteen years old when "then came Benson" was on t.v. and it was a very simple,but intriguing show. given the time it took place,i don't believe it is a show that could be done today. i think much of the appeal then and now is because there's just something about heading out on the open highway,never knowing where you're going,or where you might end up that is very tempting to a lot of people,and that show in a way,kind of allowed us to do that. unfortunately,i think that michael parks is a very under rated actor,who,like a few other actors,always seems to bring some honesty,integrity and intensity. "then came Benson" was a 'one-of-a-kind'.
