A terrific core cast with Robert Wagner, Stephanie Powers, and Lionel Sandler, with a premise (wealthy people with a penchant for mysteries) that works well due to well-written scripts that are believable.
This particular episode/premiere in this case also includes Jill St. Jean, Roddy McDowell, and Stella Stevens, a treat for those of us familiar with their work. The plot is viable and well executed.
I would've liked to have seen this supporting cast be more devious, specifically Roddy McDowell, who's portrayed such roles elsewhere. In addition to this, Jill St. John's character is somewhat reminiscent of the one she portrayed in "Diamonds Are Forever."
Altogether, an excellent cast, a supporting cast that is familiar, a good storyline, and adequate execution made for a pleasant viewing. This grows into a series that improves on the pilot.
