SES Big Shamus, Little Shamus (PGR, sign-off 11.55 CT)

I assume this was the same show that aired on CBS back in 1979 and only ran for SEVEN episodes..yet here it is..airing down under four years later yet I am sure at the time of these listings just about totally forgotten by American TV viewers.

As I can recall "Big Shamus..Little Shamus" was set in a casino in Atlantic City just after gambling was allowed there. OK not a bad place to set a TV show..but the unrealistic part..in at least one episode "Little Shamus" was seen walking around the casino by himself. Ah a child being alone in a casino for any reason that is illegal per-New Jersey casino law. At least it was in 1979 when my mom and I were in AC at the time I was 11. I remember seeing my mom off into the distance playing a slot machine so I decided to walk into the casino towards her only to have security SCREAM at me to get the hell out of here or they will ARREST my mother.

So "Little Shamus" was allowed to be in a casino on his own. BLAH !!!!

Ok..it was only a TV show. I feel better now. ;D
