Title: Movin' On - The Time of His Life - Season 1 Episode 1
Director: Walter Doniger
Details: Action Drama; Release date (September 12, 1974)
Starring: Claude Akins, Frank Converse, Michael J. Pollard
Synopsis: After a road accident Will and Sonny help out by taking the driver of the other vehicle Joe Shannon (Michael J. Pollard) to the hospital. While not hurt by the accident, Sonny and Will are informed that Shannon only has a few months to live. Shannon escapes from the hospital before he is told of his diagnosis. He teams up with Will and Sonny and they decide to give him one last bucket list road trip with amusement parks, brawling and women.
Quick Review: Apparently Doctor/Patient confidentiality wasn't as big of a deal in 1974 when the doctor informs Will and Sonny that Joe Shannon, a virtual stranger, is terminally ill with only a short time to live as a segue to involve the duo in Joe's life. No matter how clumsy the premise, it becomes a fairly engaging episode as the boys show Joe one last good time.
Rating: B
