Mannix tv show

[growr]

Been watching season 1 of Mannix and took a great trip down memory lane and yesteryear.
I always thought it was a very good show....too much smoking but still a decent show.

Anyone else have a thought or opinion?

I remember it well. Part of CBS's killer Saturday night lineup.

I have a thought. Was it too much smoking back when it originally aired, or too much smoking now in the woke era . . . ?

It was common place then.....both of my parents were heavy smokers...I choose not.

Just MY observation...I'm still going to continue watching!

Mannix, Cannon, Baretta, Kojak, Dragnet, Hawaii 5-0, Starsky & Hutch, Police Woman, Hunter, Cagney & Lacey, Columbo, Hill Street Blues, there used to be a lot of good cop shows.
Now, not so much...

Far more people smoked in the Mannix era than today. Fewer people found smoking offensive then in comparison with now.

Mannix was a good show.

I try really hard to not evaluate past events by today's playbook . . .

Well said, Muss. Nor is it fair to do so. We have erased enough history.

As for Mannix, it's on my late night agenda if I stay awake long enough. I had to laugh the other night watching Mannix get beat up. Does he get beaten on every episode?

I watch when I can't sleep. I like shows from the 60's and 70s and enjoy seeing what was pop culture, then. I even saw Neil Diamond and Buffalo Springfield playing in a couple of episodes! That was cool!

I vaguely remember it. It's been a very long time since I've seen that show.

Yes, a lot of cigarette smoking.

And a lot of the character actors
in movies and TV series died by
ages 40s to early 60 from heart
and respiratory diseases.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I used to drink a little but didn't smoke.
But I often woke up hung over and smelling like cigarette smoke.

One of the things I really enjoyed was the theme song.....not many are in a fast 3/4 ( essentially in a fast One).

One of the snappiest of them all in my book.

Seeing seasons 7-8 on YouTube.

Mike Connors died of leukemia about 3 years ago. The secretary is also gone. Gail Fisher?

Most actors in those old shows are dead, but the shows remain good.

Only a response to the original poster's comments on smoking; no attempt to rewrite history using current standards.

don't forget the show Police Story

Great show and cool car.

 

[dockmurgw]

Its on early AM on MeTV. I watch it every morning with my first cigarette of the day.

And by the way if anyone is interested, smoker Mike Connors: Born August 15, 1925 – Died January 26, 2017, that's not a bad run in my opinion.

Great show and cool car.

It was definitely a cool car show. I am not even a car guy, but enjoyed seeing his cars. I watch Mannix a lot since I can't sleep lately. It comes on at 2am on METV. While watching lately, I saw a car I could not identify. It was an Oldsmobile Tornado Roadster. To me, it was really COOL! Anybody here ever have one? I found this online.
