(2,716 posts)His ability to both amaze and disappoint himself.
His mincing walk, dapper attire, and moustache.

I'm also a fan of Harry Bosch.

(17,272 posts)My mother loved it as well, but she hated Angel.
I liked "Dragnet," but that was a police procedural. "Magnum" was pretty good, too. Mostly, I didn't like detective shows. I did watch "Columbo" a few times, but never really got into it.

(19,356 posts)columbo. if i may sir, one more question if i may? murder she wrote.

(9,508 posts)Yeah, Dragnet looks dated as hell now, but Jack Webb is a trip to watch.
And my wife and I just finished watching all of Father Dowling. Fun show, even though it jumped the shark about midway through. But it recovered somewhat near the end.
Also liked Streets of San Francsico, too.

Something about it really made me a passionate fan.
