I must be old because my favorite detective shows were: Columbo, Kojack, Baretta, and Mannix.



Peace and comfort,

I used to love columbo. I learned the advantage of inviting underestimates from him. They used to play old black and white detective shows at night. You never knew what would be on.

Powers Boothe as Marlowe, and doing a fine job (despite not being up to Robert Mitchum's standard). Brilliant stuff. I think it was made at least ten years before I saw it.

As for other shows, how about good old Darren McGavin playing: Kolchak: The Nightstalker?  This show sowed the seed for the XFiles, I am sure.


For those into British TV, how about a personal favorite with Michael Gambon: The Singing Detective. This was a mini series, not a TV series, but dang it was most excellent.

Hell, that was good. Bob Peck and Joe Don Baker - such a good casting.

And it was amazing how the cops solved all the crimes without CSI teams and all that stuff...just plain old usin' the noggin.

Yeah, the good old days were somethin'.....

Streets of San Francisco was good.

In addition to Columbo, there was Mcmillan and Wife, and McCloud.
I liked Harry O and Banacek a lot.

My favorites though are I Spy and It takes A Thief.

The Singing Detective was THE most excellent series!!!!
I started off being interested because, I had a patient who had the same skin issues as Gambons character, I had a crush on Patrick Malahide and getting to see him nekid was a bonus. I think Ive watched it about four times since then!

It was fjoeken brilliant, Lady Hib. Much better than the later film. But not cheery. Don't watch it for 'cheery'.

It was Goldie Hawn. Dudley Moore had a walk on as well, if memory serves. Very funny film.
(And there was a blond murderer and a dwarf: I think you've pegged it!)


Lady Hibiscus: what Peon says. The original EOD is very '80s (though all of the plutonium stuff now looks rather prescient), beautifully cast (Joe Don Baker has the best performance of a career that went a lot further than just Dallas) and mind numbingly bleak and dark. That's a big part of the reason it's so good.

It's very had to credit that it was the same writer behind The Italian Job and Kelly's Heroes who did it, put it that way...

Are you terminally weird, Lucy? Watching Malahide, with his pasty, hairy arse in the air, bonking our hero's Mum in the grass, surrounded by cowpats, was just about the most squalid sex scene I've ever seen. 'Ooaargh, lovely. *Grunt*. LOVELY! LOVELY!' . . . while, all the time, she's sobbing because she feels so low. Horrible!

PS Potter is a weirdo, way out of my league tho.....
Ill also admit, I enjoyed the hell out of seeing all the geordie cock bouncing around in Auf Wiedersehen Pet too.
It was the late 70s early 80s, male genitalia was reduced to hot ass in the moonlight stuff, I had my reasons,
