Old Mystery TV Shows Are Great

By Karina Frost


Everyone around the world has heard about "Murder She Wrote, " "The Hardy Boys, " "Remington Steele, " "Simon and Simon, " "Nancy Drew, " "Mrs. Columbo, " "Columbo" and "McMillan & Wife." These are all old mystery tv shows which were on the three major networks within the United States. The people growing up thirty or forty years ago remember all of these programs very well.

The series "Simon and Simon" deals with two brothers who are both detectives. The younger sibling is blond and very good looking while his older brother is ugly and going bald. Each week they try to put their talents together in order to solve mysteries and crimes which go on in a small town. Their mother is always there to lend her moral support to both of them.

Agatha Christie is responsible for the creation of an older woman who appears on "Murder She Wrote." This is the American version of Ms. Marple who British people have loved and admired for years. The old lady on this series is very wise and no murderer can escape her clutches.

Younger people growing up in the 80's loved to watch the very handsome detective named "Remington Steele." Remington was a fictional character which a woman made up in order to gain clients. She was not doing so great as a solo female private investigator since many men did not take her seriously. Once she introduced the charming Mr. Steele her business immediately took off. He was a real human being who would laugh, cry and even fumble cases from time to time.

Everyone around knows that "The Hardy Boys" brought any party to life since they were so musically talented. Joe Hardy would sing while his brother Frank took the time to romance all of the hot young girls that were around. After this was over the two of them would try to solve various mysteries that went on around their hometown. Love and romance was always in the air whenever these two dashing young men appeared.

A woman called "Nancy Drew" is also the perfect crime solver who also had a program during this time period. Unfortunately Nancy had to fight off fake ghosts, demons and other monsters during her time as a detective. It was fortunate that her good friend was also around to lend a helping hand when things got out of control.

"Columbo" is one great detective that people everywhere admired. He loved to play games with the killers who were introduced on his program each week. Mr. Columbo would wait for the right moment in order to let these people fall into a wicked trap. Throughout this program he liked to eat and drink with his suspect before making them admit to their crimes.

"Mrs. Columbo" was very young and beautiful but she did not have the same appeal as her television husband. Even though she was related to the great Columbo viewers were not interested in her crime solving abilities and they quickly turned her program off after one season.
