Over the past week, we lost a trio of significant MeTV stars as Mary Tyler Moore, Mike Connors and Barbara Hale all passed away. Yesterday, we aired a special marathon of The Mary Tyler Moore Show in tribute to the TV titan, but you'll excuse us if we continue to highlight her genius. There's another classic episode of her sitcom on this week.

Elsewhere, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the work of Connors and Hale in their respective series, as well. Here are five highlights from this week's schedule.

Mannix "To Kill a Writer"
Wednesday 1 at 2AM | 1C

Leading man Mike Connors is not the only familiar MeTV face in this season-one thriller. Michael Strong and Ted Cassidy, who both appeared in the same Star Trek episode ("What Are Little Girls Made Of?"), turn up in this case, as does Paul Petersen, best known as Jeff Stone from The Donna Reed Show.

Perry Mason "The Case of the Ancient Romeo"
Friday 3 at 11:30PM | 10:30C

This case features some nice work by Barbara Hale, as her Della Street heads to the theater with Perry for a bit of Shakespeare. Naturally, there is a mystery to solve.
