Reader Kevin Connelly wrote in to say that while TV surfing this morning he came across an episode ("Knight Errant") of the old western series "The Rifleman" in which chess played a major role, and recalled an episode of Kojak where a Fischer-like character kills one reminiscent of Botvinnik.

I know there have been various lists and summaries of chess in the movies (here and here, for instance), but are there any good summaries of chess on TV?
