Spenser is great. I'd like Mike Hammer, too. I liked his attitude.
Beat the bad guys, in the end, shoot 'em...

Depending on your age and bent, there are many shows worthy of viewing AGAIN. Some of these flat feated TV talking heads that stand out in my mind are: Hec Ramsey [Richard Boone], Hawaiian Eye [Robert Conrad], Checkmate [Doug McClure & Sebastian Cabot], 77 Sunset Strip [Ed Zimbalist], Surf Side 7 [Troy Donahue], Bourbon Street Beat [Andrew Duggan], Mr Lucky, etc. If I had a choice in the matter, my preference would be Hec for the shows smart writing and Boone's marvelous personality [see IMDB writeup].

Hawaii 50 was okay but the shows had predictability and a sameness to them. Dano was interesting.

Thank you SO much for having Simon and Simon in your lineup.

I would love to see RIPTIDE added someday too.

Y'know, I'd watch SLEUTH regularly, if they ran shows like these (click the links for related YouTube clips):

T.H.E. CAT (1966-67 color, half-hour, 26 episodes) reformed cat burglar/former circus aerialist Robert Loggia fights crime as a bodyguard-for-hire. Current rights holder unknown, may possibly be with NBC/Universal.

T.H.E. CAT lead-in + opening credits

M SQUAD (1957-60 black & white, half-hour, 117 episodes) Lee Marvin as "Lt. Frank Ballinger", who does for Chicago what "Joe Friday" did for Los Angeles. Part of NBC/Universal's library, Sleuth's parent company.

(1951-59 a.k.a. BADGE 714, black & white, half-hour, 276 episodes) Jack Webb as "Joe Friday", in the orginal, grittier version of this classic series. Part of NBC/Universal's library, Sleuth's parent company.

CORONET BLUE (1965-filmed/1967-aired, color, hour, 11 episodes) Frank Converse is an amnesiac, who may be a sleeper agent/hitman... sounds a little like "Jason Bourne", don't it? Controlled by CBS/Paramount.

CORONET BLUE intro

--as it is currently programmed, I, as a 40-year-old viewer, find little of interest on SLEUTH, which could be a great channel, if it didn't rely so much on lame and/or overplayed 1980s-Present series. That KNIGHT RIDER is the main, highly-touted upcoming addition to SLEUTH's schedule, doesn't inspire much confidence to tune in (sorry, KNIGHT RIDER fans). Here's an idea-- How about running some stuff that we can't already buy/rent easily on legit DVD?

Excellent point, Sherastuff. The works of the great Quinn Martin have been making a very gradual re-appearance in the home video realm, although paramount blew it big time with their attempt to insult the intelligence of fans of "The Fugitive" with the ridiculous stunt they pulled with volume one of season two's dvd set, there are some very angry people who love that series out there, count me among them, and yes, Barnaby Jones, A QM production, I think I read a report where it's supposed to be released on DVD sometime in late September, of course, Cannon was finally let out of the vault in early July, I think I saw the Streets of San Francisco on a shelf in a local Best Buy, but there's one crime drama series that I keep forgetting to mention in my excitement of posting preferred viewing in this genre, it too, is a QM production and one of his most underrated offerings, it starred Burt Reynolds, the name...? ...Dan August...It was awesome! That needs to be brought to the Sleuth Channel or American Life.

Hard to argue with this list, Pete! I loved "M Squad", "T.H.E. Cat" (by them being an NBC Subsidiary, they seem to be more prone to shows that formerly were showcased on their network instead of others, yet "T.H.E. Cat" was aired originally on NBC, if I recall right),NYPD (loved it, very relentless, attention-grabbing show, the kind you didn't leave the room on or you'd miss something, like "24") and "77 Sunset Strip", at some point and time, they're gonna have to expand on their moniker and start showing more private eye dramas, there are too many great ones out there to ignore, the posters here are all too well aware of the treasures of PI Dramas out there that should be showing on this network.

I don't know about "I Spy" (but I'd watch it if they did, I just bought seasons one an two of the series a few weeks ago), it's more of an espionage series, like "Man From U.N.C.L.E" (anybody know what the initials stood for?) there's a "Spy Channel" on cable, isn't there, I would be inclined to believe these two shows in particular would flourish there, never did get into "Riptide", but I'm definitely for "Longstreet" making the Sleuth Channel lineup, that role truly belongs on that network, James Franciscus and Bruce Lee??!!! Oh, yeah! Oops! Almost forgot..."Pax", Longstreet's dog, he was awesome!

What a great series that was...It would be perfect for the Sleuth Channel.
