Knowing About Old Mystery TV Shows

By Karina Frost


"Simon and Simon, " "Murder She Wrote, " "Remington Steele, " "The Hardy Boys, " "Nancy Drew, " "McMillan & Wife, " "Columbo" and "Mrs. Columbo" are great programs to view. They are also old mystery tv shows that American people love to watch. These series were first introduced during the 1970's and early 80's and they appeal to a large population.

"Simon and Simon" was quite unique since it centered on the relationship between two siblings who were also detectives. All of the female fans loved to watch the younger brother since he was so handsome and kind. The older brother seemed to be more gruff and always had a bad attitude. These two boys loved their mother very much and she liked to help them with their current cases.

American people liked to compare the woman on "Murder She Wrote" with the great Ms. Marple who was created by Agatha Christie. This is yet another idea that Americans stole from the British. The old lady within this series was a true manipulator and she would always trap the killer by the end of the program. Fortunately a police detective on this series helped her out quite a bit.

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.

Whenever a crime is committed on the beach Joe and Frank Hardy will always be around to solve it. These two young men are known as "The Hardy Boys" and the world remembers them from many books that were written. The guys enjoy dating, surfing and romancing each and every good looking chick that comes their way. They are also good at catching thieves, murderers and other people who enjoy doing criminal acts.

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.

A very short man named "Columbo" took his job quite seriously and he enjoyed locking criminals in a jail cell. He was the greatest crime solver that was ever created for television viewers and everybody loved him. Peter Falk had an unusual way of playing this character and no one else matched his style. Criminals all around tried to avoid Mr. Columbo since he could solve any crime within an hour.

His wife had her own television series called "Mrs. Columbo" even though viewers never saw the two of them together. Her series did not last for very long since she had a different style than her husband. Sometimes these episodes were very light in their writing style which made the program boring.
