TV in the USA in the 1970's brought us quite a few fun and over the top detective shows, and many of these 1970's era TV Detectives had one gimmick or quirk to set them apart from the pack.
Look over this partial list of fun 70's era USA based Detective series and take your pick of the one you think was the most ridiculous and least plausible, and pick one you think could be the most realistic.
1. CANNON: A very heavyset Lincoln Continetal Mark driving, penthouse living, gourmet loving ex-cop who charged huge fees to solve cases.
2. BARNABY JONES: Geriatric, milk swigging, rickitey and thin as a matchstick Buddy Ebsen as a retired Detective who goes back on the job.
3. COLUMBO: Seemingly bumbling, but quite brilliant and strangely gleeful in how he mentally toys, tortures, and drives the murderer nearly insane.
4. MCCLOUD: Stubborn New Mexico Sherriff, always aggravating to the crabby Police Chief, let loose in modern NYC with a horse, cowboy hat and six shooter.
