uh, Michael Knight is no copy cat, he is a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

MacGyver wasn't a private investigator - he was a troubleshooter for the Phoenix Foundation.

I'm convinced Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) was actually the murderer in all of those episodes. Everywhere she went some one died, and she somehow manages to pin the murder on someone else. Just saying, she could be the greatest serial killer in history. She figured out how to frame so many people.

The two that were good were Magnum PI and Simon & Simon. I guess that's why they lasted so long.

The Rockford Files and The Fall Guy are close.

Remington Steele is criminally underrated. The banter between Brosnan and Zimbalist was phenomenal.

Matt Houston was a solid watch.

Hunter (a cop not a pi)wasn't art or anything but it was a good one hour time kill.

Can't talk about Robert Urich without talking about Vegas. I always loved how Dan Tanna parked his car in his living room.

Who thinks the Phoenix Foundation now operates a private security firm?

Whelp... Since I'm only an idea man, I've got another one for a 80/90s tv theme song bracket that someone more enterprising can create.

I've watched a bunch of these over the past few years. Some have held up pretty well, and others are great historical documents.

I don't know why, but in the last 2 years I've watched episodes of Magnum Pi, Rockford Files, Vegas, Spenser for Hire, Stingray, and Macguyver. They're all fun, but they're also like 80s hair bands - pretty much all the same.
