McCloud, that's right!

Dennis Weaver! Much like Falk (or Telly Savalas for that matter), an eccentric character actor getting a popular lead TV role. Columbo definitely rocked in it's format though. I LOVED that we generally (there were a couple of exceptions) knew exactly who and how they dunnit, and we were watching the how he catches them. In his inimitable style.

I loved McMillan and Wife, but that was during a period in which a wanted to grow up to be Susan St. James. Also, Rock Hudson on a bicycle chasing a suspect over the San Francisco hills is one of the great chase scenes.

I saw McMillan and Wife on after school repeats, after Susan St. James was on Kate and Allie. I also think it might have been after Rock Hudson died, but I am not sure of the time line of it.

My family used to watch the Sunday Night Mystery Movies together.

Don't know if it was mentioned before, but Peter Falk died.

Skipper.

I loved all those shows! MacMillan and Wife, McCloud, Columbo, dang, that takes me back. I'm so old. Off to Netflix!

We have a great channel here RTV that shows a lot of the old stuff - Quincy, Emergency, McMillan and Wife, It Takes a Thief, and a bunch of other stuff.

Oh, I loved It Takes a Thief, especially the eps with Fred Astaire.

The Fred Astaire eps are my favorite. It comes on on Saturdays and Sundays here. I think I've seen them all though :(
