Been watching it--never remember it as a show I recall seeing way back when.
It was spoofed on the Simpsons and after that I got curious to see it.
I watched the last episode of season 2 last night (which so happens to have premiered on April 1st, 1973).
Two Dollars on Trouble to Win - A horse racing murder mystery that feels like it limps to the finish line although there's a scene where Rock Hudson is trapped in a garage with the exhaust tank of a car spewing out the fumes and he has to figure out how to break the window on a Rolls Royce--finally taking apart a shelf and using the wood to smash the window. One funny scene where John Astin as Sykes, the police forensics expert, gets momentarily confused by two thermos containers--one is his lunch drink and the other is evidence in a poison case.

The wife was my first ever crush. Was it Susan St.James?

The wife was my first ever crush. Was it Susan St.James? Certainly was. Apparently Rock Hudson hated her. Strange man!

Certainly was. Apparently Rock Hudson hated her. Strange man! She was cute, perhaps Rock preferred the pool boy.

That's Susan St. James? In that picture, though she looks good, she also looks (to me at least) like the 3rd Place Winner in a Liza Minelli Lookalike Contest! ::laugh:: You had good taste in your early crushes, Carl.
BTW, speaking of detective shows starring babe-a-licious guys and gals, I've been watching reruns of Remington Steele. When I watched it occasionally during its original run, I found Pierce Brosnan too callow for words. These days--having seen him as James Bond, which has led me to consider him one of the better (and underrated) 007's--I enjoy watching him spar with the criminally overlooked Stephanie Zimbalist. The two of them share a dash and an elegance sadly missing from most of today's TV.
