Didn't like any of them. Simple-minded and repetitive.<br />

My vote still goes to "Frost", though "Inspector Morse" runs a close second. Sorry, but the British series are miles better than the American ones.

Magnum was a fun show, as was the Rockford Files. They were PIs, though, and iconoclastic PIs to boot, and the shows were more about the attitudes and moods than with the detective work. So far as watching a detective solve mysteries in an entertaining way, Colombo still gets my vote. Peter Falk was perfect, able to keep you wondering how and when he would figure out a crime you already knew the answer to.
