Santini's Millions

First aired Saturday, February 2, 1985

Synopsis

A dying millionaire leaves his fortune to Santini, triggering a legal war with the businessman's greedy partner.

Episode recap

A dying millionaire rewrites his will, and Dominic Santini — of all people — inherits a fortune. "Santini's Millions" is the season's comic-dramatic breather, in which the most decent man on television discovers that money is a magnet for everything indecent: contesting lawyers, a greedy business partner, and a legal war designed to bury him in paper. Borgnine plays Dom's windfall exactly right — bewildered, briefly delighted, then increasingly certain the price is too high. The episode asks what the team actually values, and answers it the way the series always does: the hangar, the aircraft, each other.
