I'll only say that I had lots of fun watching him try to solve Murder on the Orient Express.
Heh. Albert Finney version?
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Albert Finney version?
Agatha Christie was still alive when that came out. She commented that Albert Finney's moustache wasn't awesome enough to be Hercule Poirot's.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Albert Finney version?
Yes. I'm right there for any movie with both Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall.

I don't know if you can consider them procedurals as much as westerns, but two of may favorite shows as a kid were Bat Masterson and Wild, Wild West. I mean, Pinkerton agents (those were kind of cops) and mad scientists and guns and shooting (or not, in the case of Bat, and who couldn't love a character named Bat in a bowler who kept the crooks on the straight and narrow?)!!!

We used to watch Maverick too. Didn't he solve mysteries? Even though he was a gambler?

Oh, I loved Maverick and Wild Wild West. Also Black Sheep Squadron. Which is totally not a procedural, but one of the things I was religiously watching at the same general time.

That movie is just filthy with stars.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sometimes. Maverick was more of a comedy/western than a procedural.
Right around that time, there was also an Ellery Queen series starring Jim Hutton
Ahem. :)
I watched a lot of P.I. shows as a kid. 77 Sunset Strip was my favorite.
