As a child of the 60’s and 70’s, television was very different than it is today. We had 4 networks available at our house. There was not a lot of choices, we did however develop a habit of watching shows. We looked forward to the new shows every week, with new shows starting in September and having long runs for the season. A staple of network television was the police/detective show. Just like CSI and others today, we had our favorites. here is some questions about those vintage shows that started it all.
