Then I invite you my friends to take time out and ponder something truly sublime.

I am referring, of course, to the old NBC Movie Mystery Wheel and George Peppard in his prime. No, not The A-Team. Better, much better. Banacek, the solver of impossible crimes and the greatest Polish television character of all time.

After a great deal of pestering from me, occasional TAS contributor and full-time senior editor at the Heartland Institute S.T. Karnick, has finally written a blog post about Banacek and the Movie Mystery Wheel of which it was part.

In his Indianapolis home, Karnick guards his own full-run of the series on VHS from the potential threat of drainpipe climbers and other ne'er-do-wells who might wish to deprive a good man of his innocent pleasures.
