I was hooked on this show from the first episode. Robert Loggia's cool athleticism,the sinuous jazz theme, the film noir look of the exteriors and interiors, the secondary characters. Currently, there is an excellent video on YouTube which is the opening of what I believe was the first episode. Cat is intent on proving to a priest who was the witness to a crime that he is in grave danger. The priest is within the walls of his church with a few bodyguards stationed in various places inside and out. Cat sets out to get through these defenses in order to make his point. He vaults over a wall, scales to the roof and walks across a tight rope, then dispatches the guards with swift brutality. I actually owned a comic book which I certainly miss now. It had a terrific cover photo from this episode.
