No...it's the NBC Mystery Movie. Cannon and Barnaby Jones were both CBS.

[HardyGirl]

No...it's the NBC Mystery Movie. Cannon and Barnaby Jones were both CBS.

OOPS! I stand corrected. Ok then, Just McMillan & Wife, Quincy and McCloud.

Columbo was the king!

But I also enjoyed McCloud, McMillian and Wife and Banacek .

I like Quincy too, but had no idea it was under the Mystery Movie umbrella.

I just got done watching a Columbo 2 minutes ago

It was the second pilot starring Lee Grant

VERY cool series

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I thought Petrocelli was one of them, too. Petrocelli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I remember liking that one. My favorites were 1) McCloud, 2) McMillian and Wife, and 3) Columbo. I was such a fan of the Odd Couple, I always had a hard time enjoying Quincy. I typed cast him.

[Mikey]

I still remember watching an old epsiode of Love,Sidney starring Tony Randall.
In the episode he made a reference about watching Quincy on TV

[Mikey]

If anyone is interested somebody posted the entire Hec Ramsey pilot on youtube... (watchable quality)

First time I ever seen it and I must say Hec just might be my new second favorite wheel show after Columbo.

I've not heard of several of those, but I'm a Columbo junkie. I'd choose McCloud second. Never liked Banacek, too smarmy.

I do enjoy Quincy, like Mego73 I didn't know he'd been featured in telefilms, too.

[GlobalObserver]

I could be wrong, but I remember Quincy as always being a weekly series.

[Mikey]

^ Quincy started out as a hour and a half wheel show for one season.

Most of these episodes co-star Lynette Mettey as Quincy's girlfriend

Also, remember -- a wheel show season isn't as long as a normal series season because they share the timeslot with 3-4 other shows -- so there isn't that many wheel Quincys

[warlock664]

McCloud would be my pick as favorite; never really watched enough of the others to have a second or third choice.
