        I thought quite highly of _MacMillan_and_Wife_, which ran 
on NBC in the early 70's.  Rock Hudson, having the lead role, 
showed a good deal of presence and inventiveness.  I did not like 
Susan Saint James much, but then I never have.  

An even more impressive performance was in the NBC miniseries 
adaptation of Ray Bradbury's _The_Martian_Chronicles_ (1979), in 
which Hudson played one of the first explorers and colonizers of 
the planet Mars.  The scene where Hudson reacted to watching the 
world be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust was quite convincing.
