| Matt Lincoln was a Los
Angeles psychiatrist practicing "preventive psychiatry" which
aimed to assist people in the early stages of emotional distress in
order to avoid further, more complicated treatment.
The series ran for 17 episodes from September
1970 to January 1971 and each episode's title is the first name of that
episode's patient.
When the series was cancelled in January 1971,
it was replaced in its Thursday evening slot by a new light comedy
western by the name of Alias Smith and Jones!
Pete appeared in one episode - Nick.

| Quotes from Pete re this
Appearance
"There have been two roles that have been
close to portions of my personality. Never the whole guy. But you zero
in on those facets you recognize. .....
"The other role was that of the priest I
played in Matt Lincoln, who fell in love with a girl and wanted to leave
the Church, but, in the end, decided to wait and see it through. I could
understand this man, the doubts he had. I played him very peacefully,
without having to strain. I allowed myself to relax the way I am capable
of relaxing if I choose to hard enough. Sometimes I'm just not able to
relax. In this town there are always so many things on my mind, things
that have to be done. I could relax in this character without any
feeling of guilt because I was working. I could be cool and quiet
through the period of time I did the role, even after work. I'm not
usually like that," he smiled
