Season 1 • Episode 8
LatestThe Delphi Bureau is an American dramatic television series aired in the United States by ABC as one of three elements of The Men, a wheel series shown as part of its 1972-73 schedule. The Delphi Bureau starred Laurence Luckinbill as Glenn Garth Gregory, a man with a photographic memory, whose obscure United States Government "agency" ostensibly did obscure research for the President of the United States. Its actual role was counter-espionage and its main operative was Gregory, whose liaison with the group's unnamed superiors was Sybil Van Lowreen, a Washington D.C. society hostess. A framing design for each episode involved a limerick, a single new line of which was added for each segment of the show, until the entire limerick was completed in the final segment.
Writing
The actual limerick structure per episode. Unhinged commitment.
Acting
Luckinbill commits to photographic memory acting like it's Shakespeare.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of 'The Men' wheel series—ABC's failed experiment rotating three shows in one slot. Shared universe before it was cool, baby.
Laurence Luckinbill later played Spock's half-brother Sybok in Star Trek V. From limerick spy to cosmic cult leader. Range!
