At the dawn of the Seventies the Culture War captured as much attention as the Cold War, and the storylines seen in this sixth season of the FBI (drawn from real Bureau files) reflected this. While still on the watch for saboteurs and spies acting as agents for foreign powers, the dedicated crime busters of the Bureau, as personified by Inspector Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr..), Special Agent Colby (William Reynolds), and Assistant Director Ward (Philip Abbott) were just as likely to be tasked with tracking down psychotic Vietnam veterans or stopping college kids with a terrorist bent. Among the all-star actors battling the FBI as kidnappers, bank robbers, and extortionist or as the innocent victims whose aid Erskine and co. come to, can be found Martin Sheen, Joan Van Ark, Billy Dee Williams, Robert Loggia, Bradford Dillman, Dabney Coleman, Suzanne Pleshette, and William Shatner (as a rogue customs officer turned drug dealer!).
