  Entertaining in small doses
  
  This series is very entertaining but like all series, if you watch too many at a time, they seem very similar to each other!
  
  Worth watching.

  Brilliant
  
  I know these originally were shown around the late 70's 80's but they are still brilliant to watch.

  Columbo
  
  Fantastic, Peter Falk cannot be beaten as the epitamy of the US TV detective shows of the '70s. Awaiting the killer question is brilliant fun !!
