I don't remember Rip Tide.

You shouldn't remember any of them if you are as young as you say you are.

Wish the jackass who did the poll would have put an "all of the above" option. Each show was special in it's own way, but since I have to choose I will go with Riptide because Joe Penny went on to be in Jake and the Fatman.

Didn't that end in 79 or 80? These are all 80's gems listed.

I remember Simon and Simon and Magnum being together for a spell. Not the Rockford Files. I have a book I picked up 20 years ago that has every network schedule from the late 40's to the late 90's listed. I'll have to see if our fuzzy memories are right.

Yeah... Long ago, and far away.
And there's Cannon, and Starsky and Hutch, and Fall Guy, and Columbo... And what was that Telly Savalis one? He's always walking around with a sucker in his gab... :shrug:

LOL! That's right... Heck, if there was anything as good as all that on the cable, I'd still be watching it.

I haven't watched a network show in years. I do either buy on DVD the old series or find them on line streaming. I found a shady website where some questionably legal stuff is trafficked. Picked up a super rare one season only Burt Reynolds cop series called Dan August with Norman Fell. It's awesome.

Buck Rogers wasn't a Cop/Detective show.

Charlies Angels was the 70's

The other 3 are acceptable.

Remington Steele was a decent show. Stephanie Zimbalist was hot by 80's standards.
