Pete Loves Mary

I finally had the chance to watch Bobby in “Pete Loves Mary,” an episode from the late 50′s/early 60′s show M Squad.  

I was SUPER excited to find this on youtube, because alot of Bobby’s TV work can be so hard to find.  It looks like he may have filmed this around the time he shot “Ordeal of the S-38″, give or take a couple months.  He would have been a new dad, trying to keep steady work for his family. 
I have this theory that MAYBE Bobby didn’t like taking his wedding band off while filming in his early days of marriage (Beware: entering sheer speculation zone).  I noticed he wore it during the “S-38″ episode, as well as in this one.  For the other character, he could have been married just as likely as he could not have been, but in his role of Steve here, it can certainly be inferred that he isn’t.  All the same, he wears a ring on his left hand – although in “Pete Loves Mary,” it doesn’t seem to be an actual wedding band despite it being on his ring finger.  I wonder if he disliked going without his band so much that they offered him another ring to “place hold” without it looking to audiences like a wedding ring?  I can’t remember whether or not he wore one in Party Crashers, where the character was most certainly not married…

Of course, again, that could totally be just me making something into more than what it is.  

Favorite moment:  Bobby once again treats us to some great facial expressions here, particularly during his first conversation with the cop.  He does a great job of being sarcastic toward the officer, and defensive of his brother, a prison escapee.
