Re: Older Detective Shows

The only shows mentioned I hadn't heard of are The Outsider and Dangerous Assignment. All the others I've at least heard of and most of them I've watched to one extent or another.
Yes, there were some decent episodes of Hawaiian Eye. Don't ask me which ones because it's been too long since I last saw a rerun, but there were eps that definitely held my attention.
I don't think I could make a top 10 because there are too many and sometimes my mood influences what I'm enjoying at the moment. Guest stars have a role in that, too, because some actors just bore me to apathy. Columbo is a great example. It was a great detective show, but there were a couple of actors that made me just yawn through the whole episode, like Patrick McGoohan. RIP, but he bored me stiff no matter what show he was in. Ironically, someone gifted me with The Prisoner (one of the strangest things I've ever watched) and Secret Agent/Danger Man.
Anyway, I like a bunch of the detective shows, from the 50's through the present. It's certainly a long list!
