(1,725 posts)I bought the entire series from PBS so I can watch them for the rest of my life! The scenery and estates never get old.

I'll have to look for the set. Good idea to have it to watch for the rest of your life

(5,604 posts)Actually I usually root for the criminals. I find most portrayals of crime busters to be somewhat conceited and smarmy. I did like Quincey though.

(5,170 posts)But of the ones you listed, Magnum and Colombo. I'm surprised Magnum has no votes. That show was really fun -- far fetched and of course womanizing -- but fun!

NightWatcher
(39,343 posts)I've been a PI now since I left the feds back in 2004. Like me, he wasn't a fan of police interaction but solved problems for his clients.
If you asked about favorite do-gooder, I'd say Rockford or McCall (The Equalizer).
Be careful what you let your kids watch on tv, else they'll be like me and chase a crazy dream and get a fun job.

Although, deep down, we all know that Sherlock Holmes is the granddaddy of them all.

(6,697 posts)Unfortunately he's proven to be a bit of a dumbshit (NRA Rightie) so I don't expect jumping his bones would be much fun. Still, those old Magnum PI shows give me the twitches.
