Good to see some fellow Columbo fans on here, he's the man!

Columbo is fantastic.

My most recent favourites have  been 'Inspector Montalbano' and 'Spiral' (both on Beeb 4), and I'm currently enjoying the rerun on Talking Pictures of the mid60s/mid70s series, 'Public Eye'.

 

PS: I'm a fan of 'Rebus' too.

 We like Montalbano as well, both in his young but most preferably older version.  Like that BBC4 have brought some alternative foreign detectives to our screens such as:

Beck

Wallender (original version). 

 

But I personally prefer the American detective series.  For me it's:

Kojak

Hill Street Blues 

NYPD Blue

Magnum

It has to be Columbo for me. My second choice would be  Law & Order.  I still watch them every week even though I've seen each episode several times.

Hill Street Blues and Cagney & Lacey are great. 

Not too keen on Magnum though, I keep getting distracted by Tom Selleck's body hair that seems to sprout everywhere

Hill Street blues was in a league of its own.

Got to agree, even intro music brilliant.

I very much enjoyed unforgotten on itv, waking the dead was very good too. On the fluffier end of the scale, and a more week in, week out sort of show is castle and the Closer. Cap tip too, to Motive for a different slant on the standard police procedural.

Any older member remember the detective show that launched Lee Marvin much like Rawhide did for Clint Eastwood? I think it was called M Squad and it wasn't half bad.
