'Mike Connors Is....'

Mannix!

Great TV detective with a real sweetheart of a secretary, Gail Fisher who played Peggy Fair in the series.

The 60s and 70s sure had some fun detective and police shows. many of them are now out on DVD, but I haven't seen the Mannix series at the store yet.
 
ROFL! Guilty here as charged... showing my age too! :costumes: also had Barnaby Jones (Lee Remick!), Streets of San Francisco and no one really remembers Cannon.

Oh, I remember "Cannon". William Conrad, the "Round Man" of television. Mr. Conrad was a fighter pilot in WW2....:ernae:
 
I think there was one with David Janssen too.

I also liked watching Petrochelli (sp?) story about a lawyer.

Remember that feeling you had when NBC was advertising what would be on next season.... and they showed clips of Baa Baa Black Sheep!

Man I was jumping for joy! :jump:

Could not wait for the fall season to start. WW2 in color.
 
The series starring David Janssen was "Harry O", lasted two seasons. It's available on DVD.
 
"Tightrope" a pre-pre-Mannix Mike Connors detective show was always a favorite of mine.
 
How about Anne Francis in "Honey West?" Perhaps not the best detective series, but just to watch sweet Anne and her AC Cobra car made it worth the half hour. Of course most of you will remember her in "Forbiden Planet" with Lesli Nielson in what was arguably her best role.

Hey LJ, I watch Peter Gunn every night on an independent station here in Illinois...right after another fav of mine, THE UNTOUCHABLES.

Becoming a Lola Albright fan with each episode....good stuff!

Almost forgot about that one with Robert Stack. It was a good one too.
 
Does anyone remember the show "The FBI"? It starred Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.. The intro of the show always had the announcer saying "The FBI...in color". I always got a laugh out of that being that I was watching the show on a black and white TV. :costumes:

Brian
 
How about "M Squad" with Lee Marvin as detective Lt. Frank Ballinger? This show really kicked off Lee's career.
 
Then there was the greatest detective of all... "Longstreet"!

James Franciscus played a blind detective in New Orleans. Now there was a series that stretched the imagination... :icon_lol:
