The Big List of Detective Shows

I get asked a lot about what shows we’re going to play as replacements in the line up become necessary, so I decided to make a list of the shows I would like to do, the shows I’m not going to do and those I’m not sure about. If there’s another detective show that’s not on the list, please leave it in the comments or call the show at 208-991-GR8D (4783).

The only shows that I will consider are either American made shows or shows made for American syndication that were produced before February 15, 1972.

The most up to date version of this list will be kept here.

    I wish you’d do Gangbusters. I know it’s more of a cop shop than a detective show, but so is Dragnet. It was such a popular show at the time, and I never hear it anywhere. Perhaps there aren’t a lot of episodes in circulation, but it was on for 21 years, so I can’t imagine that is so. Also, my dad was a regular on it, so that’s my not-so-secret reason for wishing you would play it!

    Any thoughts on doing the Whistler? Does that not quite fit the mold since he’s not a detective?
