Simon & Simon - Mummy Talks

Season four, episode 20. Directed by Kim Manners. A real mummy at a costume party. First aired Feb. 21, 1985. I finally found Simon & Simon streaming in decent quality. The library only had a couple of seasons on DVD. Skipped season one at the moment because it is a little different and I have just been cherry picking the best from each season.
