I sat through an episode for the first time while visiting my mother in the hospital. She slept through it. I was disappointed by it. Virgil Tibbs wasn't smarter than everybody else. The town wasn't semi-impoverished. The cops weren't scrawny and dumb. The police chief talked too slow. They didn't arrest people and refuse to release them until they agreed not to sue for false arrest.
It had harmonica music, but it was regular harmonica, not bass harmonica. Everything happened in daylight and it didn't look hot out.
