It Takes a Thief 2x04 "The Thingamabob Heist" shout by RikerDonegal
**Ricardo Montalban, Sharon Acker.** Different feel to this episode. Less espionage and danger. Instead, it’s a battle of wits. Al’s target knows who he is and that’s he’s trying to steal something. There’s a lot of mutual respect on display. Both actors excel. Great chemistry. Acker does the nerd-to-babe transformation at the end (to distract some guards). Cheesy but funny. She’s great, but this is Montalban’s episode. Both characters will return. _Fall 1968: Aired on ABC in Tuesday’s second hour after The Mod Squad and before NYPD. Against it: The Red Skelton Hour on CBS, Julia and NBC Tuesday Night at the Movies on NBC._ 9/10
