Hey Jeff Great review. There are so many newer series that are being produced for the various streaming concerns - hard to keep track. I have Amazon but I don't check it often to see what's playing (that's what you guys are for :D)

Well we know that Jeff will be along. Always there when cheesecake is served.:banana: Although I must admit I've had a trend lately. More mystery to the mysteries. Amada Redman Lauren Lee Smith Lucy Lawless

New Tricks –2003-2015 So here it is – the Golden Girls of police procedurals. The London police force needs to “clean up” old open case crimes so they form The Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad. Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman (Amanda Redman) is put in charge. In many ways this is a punishment...

Frankie Drake –2017-2021 This series, at first glance, seems to be a Canadian version of Australia’s Miss Fisher’s Mysteries. Both Frankie and Phryne are liberated females in the 1920’s. Both solve mysteries. But then the comparisons fail. Miss Fisher is a rich amateur. Frankie Drake (Lauren...

As you can see - I've fallen behind as well. Busy planning a trip. My daughter is getting married later this year. (At least that is my excuse and I'm stickin' to it) Thanks for the great commentary. Cheers

My Life is Murder - 2019- If Emma Peal can play a detective, then so can Xena Warrior Princess. That’s right – Lucy Lawless stars as Alexa Crowe ex-detective. She has left the force, perhaps because her husband died, but the police can’t let her be. D. I. Kieran Hussey (Bernard Curry)...

It's on Prime, Britbox, and Roku all for a charge. Used dvd sets are going for around $15. Here is a copy on dailymotion just to check it out. It is not very good quality.

Phillip Marlowe - 1959 In 1959 hardboiled detective Phillip Marlowe came to the small screen with Philip Carey in the lead. The hardboiled genre started back in the 1920’s and contained the likes of Sam Spade and later Mike Hammer. Phillip Marlowe was tough on the outside but inside enjoyed...

I do remember. Three of the guys that worked there will never come back. Chris Kenner and Homer Liwag are #1 and #2 creative consultants and assistants for David Copperfield and are very well off. A third, Mike Close is the creative consultant and judge for Penn & Tellers Fool Us TV show.

So do we get the free drinks too?????? :cheers:

Russ - I read those books all the time and my wife does too.... and I live on Mars... no really...

Thanks Russ I think. Yet another two I haven't watched. So many mysteries - so little time. Cheers

Thank Bob. Tough Quiz!

The Outsider - 1968-9 Darren McGavin - David Ross The Outsider was the outcast down on his luck private eye. A wrongly convicted ex-con. He gets beat up a lot. He helps people but seldom gets a reward. It was Rockford Files before Rockford files. We loved the show but it only lasted for one...

Well done Jeff. I figured that Johnny Staccato and The Outsider would stump a few people. King of Diamonds is pretty rare. Here's a link to an archive.org copy of KofD. https://archive.org/download/king-of-diamonds-tv-2-ep-01-1961-09-13-wizard-of-ice-telly-savalas/king of diamonds tv _2 ep 01...

A LITTLE QUIZ - TV DETECTIVES PAST Can you identify these? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

We enjoyed all of them but I don't think I would ever binge watch it. Shawn could get annoying. If you give it a try Kevin - let us know what you think. There is nothing quite like it. Even though the comedy is rampant - the murder mysteries are always played straight.

Psych 2006-2014 I already explained that we enjoy lighthearted mysteries. Well Psych is about as lighthearted as you can get. In most of these the mystery takes back seat to the wild madcap comedy. They are a lot of fun, so I’m OK with it but it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. The basic...
