Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is a scientifically unsubstantiated hypothesis that suggests the burning of a person's body without an external source of ignition. Although there is much speculation and controversy over SHC, it is not a proven natural occurrence.
Linda Purl who played Charlene Matlock on the Matlock TV show was in every episode of the first season except episode #14, The Rat Pack. Her former husband from a very short marriage, Desi Arnaz Jr. was guest-starring on that episode.
He quickly became a fan-favorite character and maintained that status through the duration of the series. Many years before LOST was even an idea, Terry OâQuinn played Malcolm Engle in The Dare, S9/E4. This is my favorite Matlock episode of all time, involving some interesting twists from the normal format.
