Now my ,,,,,,,,,,,,brain cells are startin to kick in,,,,,,,,,,,,Banacek was another great show with George Peppard (A-Team) who played a "playboy" insurance claim investigator"! Adventure and a neat "solve the mystery puzzle" was in every show. Part of the Columbo, McMillan & Wife , McCloud detective rotating series in the 1970's! Jonny Quest (cartoon series) ,,,,,,my favorite back in the 1960's. Very well done for it's time,,,,,,,,,,,great theme music,,,,,,,,the remake just doesn't do it for me. "TIME TUNNEL" with James Darren only lasted a year,,,,,,,,,,,,but would make a nice series today,,,,,,,,,,,if it was "seriously" undertaken! The "OUTER LIMITS" was the neatest show of it's time (1960's),,,,,,,,it combined Twilight Zone with "It Came From Outer Space" and the "THEME" music set the "incredible tone & mood" for the show! I'm not a big-fan of "REMAKES",,,,,,,,,,they insult the "originals". Although the "FUGITIVE" was quite nicely done ; (Harrison Ford). I think because they updated it to the 1990's ,,,,,,,,,,and used the original series as a reference only.
