In 1972's Banacek - Zero-charisma actor, George Peppard, plays zero-charisma, "freelance" insurance investigator, Thomas Banacek (who likes to boast to everyone that he's Polish).
Always playing for high-stakes (natch) - And always solving (at the snap of a finger) mega-complicated insurance frauds, and the likes (natch) - I found that the Banacek character was (far too often) way too sure of the fact that he'd get to the bottom of things in no time flat.
You know, I'm really trying to understand why this painfully predictable TV series seems to appeal to a fairly large audience.
And, what I figure is behind this is that with Banacek being a total football jock this, in turn, is the one aspect of his drab, self-satisfied character that strikes an approving chord with those who choose to praise this show.... I mean, what else could it be?
