Ive been getting into some vintage Columbo. Man, such intrigue and low key sex appeal.

Haha, you fuckface, I've mentioned several times that Columbo is one of the greatest shows ever.

In fact, I just bought the itunes boxset they just came out with which contains the "original series" which was basically awesome from beginning to end (except that it's missing the first two "pilot episodes" for some reason, even though they broadcast them on streamers). The revival series which they did on ABC in the late 80s and 90s is worth skipping completely, as it's nowhere near the quality of the initial run, which had guys like Spielberg directing (first gig, I think) and guys like Bochco writing. Top notch series that is better than 100% of the crap they produce today. Quite literally nothing around like it.

That sex appeal comment makes you even weirder than ever by the way. But anyway, you'll eventually find yourself giving Dallas a try and will be back to report how off the charts amazing a show that was, probably in 5-10 years from now.

I used to like that as a kid (parents watched, I wasn't really paying attention). But I saw a few minutes of episodes here and there recently on reruns (I always try to see a few minutes of any of these old shows to see what was what back then), and it kinda sucks.

I'm sort of intrigued by Kojak, though my little snippet of viewings didn't pull me in. Also considering an adult rewatch of Wiseguy, which I recall was pretty damn cool as a kid old enough to sort of semi-appreciate it.

The Equalizer. Not the Queen Latifah reboot. The O.G. version with Edward Woodward and that cool title theme by Stewart Copeland.
 
Meh. My mom used to watch that when I was a kid and it was boring enough to not make me want to revisit.

Hunter was kinda fun though.

Although none of these cop shows (other than Columbo, of course) ever came close to the magic of Hasselhoff's adventures on Knight Rider.

The best episode of Equalizer was the one where Adam Ant played a child sex trafficker who kidnaps JT. Walsh's kid. In a comedy relief subplot, McCall catches a peeping Tom in the act. The peeper is played by Chris Elliot.
