As for the trailer, it was more my need at trying my hand at producing lol. Also, my dream is to see my screenplay adapted books make it to screen hence that kind of a trailer. We'll see if it works. Either way, it was fun making the trailer. Thanks again.

At 2:06am on April 30, 2010, Michael Phelps said…: BEST P. I. ON TV:

1. RICHARD DIAMOND, PRIVATE EYE - Starring David Janssne
2. HARRY O' - Starring David Janssen
3. ROCKFORD FILES - Starring James Garner
4. MAGNUM, P. I. - Starring Tom Selleck
5. KOJAK - Starring Telly Savalas
6. COLUMBO - Starring Peter Falk

Just an opinion. Of course, I'm biased - David Janssen was my friend.
