Prognosis: Murder

Dr. Michael Serling was apparently the intended recipient of a bottle of poisoned whiskey that killed two derelicts. But Serling's strange refusal to cooperate places him and the case in a different light.

Show Summary

Burt Reynolds plays Lt. Detective Dan August. Dan August enjoyed only a short run on TV due to poor ratings, but shortly after it was canceled, Burt Reynolds' career took off. To capitalize on his new fame, several episodes were combined into 2 hour TV movies and re-aired due to the newMore celebrity of its lead actor. All in all, Dan August was yet just another one of those police/detective shows of the 1970s.

    Borderline acceptable. How far down has television sunk to these days. Not to disrespect the creators of Dan August but I guess it's simply the trend of tv these days (nothing good on.) Time poorly wasted. hide show
