That was part of the fun of those old detective shows. The guys weren't
invincible, weren't some kind of Special Forces/Green Beret/SEAL who could kill
a man with their pinky. They were regular guys who had to depend on sleuthing,
healthy "tips" to the local pimp or drunk for information, and good old
fashioned stubborness. Made them more relatable to me. Remember Jim Rockford?
He was always getting beat up too, and i loved that show.
By the way, i hear "The Rockford Files" is being remade soon.

What I remember of Mannix was he got the crap beat out of him just about every
other week...

I forgot about Mannix! That was one of the first detective shows that I
remember watching! I haven't seen any re-runs of that show though. It was on tv
from 1968-75.
According to wiki Gail Fisher won multiple Emmys for that show.

Not bad at all. I also liked Teresa Graves ("Get Christie Love") and Gail

How come you guys never bring up Tamara Dobson (Cleopatra Jones). She sounds
like she belongs in this group

I was never enamored of Ms. Grier (sacrilege I know!), but poor Lisa Nicole
Carson did it for me! Too bad she seems to be suffering from serious emotional
problems. Nola Gaye, yes indeed. And let's not forget Lola Falana and Dianne
Carroll. Oh--and Sofia Vergara from "Modern Family". Wow, wow, wow!
Halle who?

I've met and seen folk who look better naked and others who look great in
clothes...Halle is the latter...Yeah, I know there are some who look great
bothe ways...I am a school of the full-figured 60's and 70's genre No one
mentioned Nola Gaye, Lisa Nicole Carson, Pam Grier (who does not need to be
mentioned along with Raquel or Sophia) and a few other youngsters whom I have
trouble remembering. ..Nope, didn't forget Tracey either (wink!)...
