I just watched this adaptation of one of my favorite detectives on ME (Memorable Entertainment) television on AT&T U-Verse. I have enjoyed Mr. Stout's books for years and enjoyed this (assumed) pilot.
When I saw it listed I thought it was the A&E series with Timothy Hutton and Maury Chaykin and I had enjoyed that series for the short time it was on.
I agree with one of the other reviewers that Mr. Thayer was really too slim to play Nero Wolfe, but I had enjoyed his appearances on "Dark Shadows" and did not let that deter my enjoyment.
Tom Mason was entertaining as Archie Goodwin, but Timothy Hutton's performances on the A&E series had spoiled me.
I am glad I stuck with the airing and enjoyed the others in the cast, especially Anne Baxter. If you ever get the chance, I think you might enjoy this also.
