If Owen (Arthur Hill) invites his daughter Melissa (Christine Mathcette) to sit through the trial where adult themes are played out, his parenting skills perhaps could have come up with a more honest command to her than "don't you have homework to do?" when at the house the conversation of the adults veered into dialogue and themes above her tender years / ears. Or, to soften the brush off, at least say something like "I'll be up to go over your assignment with you and say 'goodnight' just as soon as company leaves." 42:10 - 42:14 Christine Mathcette is highlighted at the trial's conclusion, the end of the 4th act when Melissa says to her dad, "See? I knew that's the way they'd vote." To which he replied with a smile and a pinch of her cheek, "Then you knew something I didn't know." A revealing, sweet father-daughter moment. Nice to see occasional use of Santa Barbara's iconic, oh-so-photogenic, scenic locations like when Donna Mills exits the court building. To economize, reduce the added costs affiliated with location filming they rely on L.A. area locations substituting for its northern neighbor, Santa Barbara. The epilogue was filmed down the coast, closer to home base, Universal Studios, in the parking lot of the well known Castaway restaurant in Burbank. The numerous comments here of Donna Mills' luminous appeal are indeed warranted. What I would add was how great she looked in the tag / epilog in -- unlike her designer attire throughout -- her unglamorous combo of denim pants and multi-colored, ultra casual top and straw hat. Her sex appeal was enhanced further with her line delivered to Owen that she and husband (Stephen Brooks) are headed up the coast, "Big Sur, and a second honeymoon -- in a sleeping bag." -- note, as in singular, not "sleeping bags.". Well, hubby is lucky with the trial's outcome and wife's dropping divorce proceedings. Six years prior to 'The Triangle' Brooks was playing a federal law enforcement agent about to be married on producer Quinn Martin's "The FBI" series wherein the radiant redhead Lynn Loring played his fiancee and daughter to Efrem Zimablist, Jr.'s senior agent. Reliving that courtesy of Warner Archive's DVD series set we see that the attractive couple's imminent wedding is called off so they can wait until 18-year old Barbara (Loring) is a bit older, which definitely pleases her widowed father. That turned out to be a euphemism behind the scenes for the young lady getting her divorce from the show by the 13th episode. It seems a sweet romance and the personal lives of FBI's finest were too much of a juxtaposition to the portrayal of the agents' serious work, a distraction from the richly crafted storylines of the criminals and THEIR home lives. "Hey, 'sfinthecity,' this was great. So thanks much for 'Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law' uploads." BTW and obviously, the more full-length episodes, circa 50 minutes, the better!
🎉 Very Grateful for the Upload of this 1970's TV series, as I have never seen, heard or known of it before you sharing it via Your UA-cam channel 🎉 Sending an Avalanche of Good Will Blessings from Australia 🦘 🇦🇺
42:00 Also, this actor (playing "clerk") gets no imdb credit. He played Jeannie Berlin's boss in "Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living in New York" (1975) and Michael Keaton's co-worker and carpool friend in "Mr. Mom" (1983).
Forgot all about this series! Thanks for posting.
Donna Mills is always a pleasure to watch! Very beautiful lady!
Beautiful Donna Mills and Lee Majors.

What a fantastic writeup! Yes, obtaining the uncut episodes (if available) always better.

That was not an apology
