I loved McMillan and Wife. In that era, my fondest hope was to become Susan St. James.

The first several years of Magnum has some really strong scripts. "Did You See the Sunrise?" was particularly memorable. Then it became silly, as did Remington Steele.

Is there no Miami Vice love?

I loved the crocodile. He gave great cry face.

Speaking of Raymond Burr - Ironside!

And Mod Squad!

(Late sixties procedurals should all be exclaimed.)

Is there no Miami Vice love?

When I was in high school/college, there was much, much Miami Vice love. Trust me.

oh, there was mad love for Miami Vice. MAD LOVE.

I guess MV is a procedural - I just didn't really think of it as such. i think of it as an action show. Like Starsky & Hutch.

"Did You See the Sunrise?" was particularly memorable.

OMG yes! I can picture that final scene perfectly. It caused a bit of a stir when it first aired.

One of my local PBS stations shows old Perry Masons, and I've come to the conclusion that Perry is kind of sleazy. Plus I always get distracted by trying to figure out of Paul Drake is really doing Della Street or just wants to and if Della's limiting herself to Perry.

Earliest I can think of, besides Perry Mason, is Highway Patrol with Brodrick Crawford. And I watched everything else mentioned. My favorite before Homicide was Hill Street Blues, oh and Barney Miller!

what was the story? I never remember titles.

what was the story? I never remember titles.

A recurring character, a pleasant geeky type, is killed in a trap meant for Magnum. The killer is jovial, charming and ruthless. In the final scene, Magnum says to the killer, quoting the guy who was killed, "Did you see the sunrise this morning?" The killer says, a little confused but courteously, "Yes, I did. Why?" Magnum (white fonted, 'cause why not) pulls his gun, turns, and shoots him. Freeze frame, credits.

My very first HSQ moment.
