white collar is basically hardcastle and mccormick with a little remington steele

burn notice (for at least the first 3 seasons) was macguyver

psych is a low key slacker version of miami vice

meanwhile on tnt leverage is the a team

i literally cannot wait for them to get around to moonlighting

Status: offline 		There was a movie that came out a bit more than 20 years ago. It was done in a film noir style, and it was really good (and pretty funny if I remember correctly) it wasn't who framed roger rabbit and it didn't have madonna in it. I wish I could remember that movie (and the name of it) because I'd love to watch it again.

Are you talking about a television movie, perhaps? "The Man With Bogart's Face"?



Peace and comfort,

Yes...but older ones.   The Thin Man, one of my all time favorites, Agatha C., and of course, The Orient Express.  Love me some black and white detective movies!

Although now that you mention it, it definitely did have a tongue in cheek tone, so...perhaps it Dead men...Idk...

Showing my vintage, but it is SO cool.

ETA Did you see the movie with Peter Faulk, 'The Cheap Detective"?

Awesome take on the detective yarn.

ETA again : Really, Lady Hib? Cool!

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.
