    I enjoyed the show. Tom Bosley seemed to "fit" as Father Dowling.

    Wasn't a fan of the show, but yeah, he made a good priest. He'll always be Mr. Cunningham to me though.

    I watched "Diagnosis: Murder" and "Hart To Hart". I haven't heard of he first show.

    The Snoop Sisters didn't last long, just four episodes and a TV movie. I watched several of DM's first-season episodes, but lost interest. H2H was more interesting, I think mostly 'cause of more interesting characters. But again, I lost interest after the first season.

    Another show that I really enjoyd was "Murder She Wrote". The Roku
    Channel has the entire series available to watch for free.

    Tubi has it as well. It was my Ma's favorite of such shows. Me, not so much.

    I especially like "The Rockford Files". Those answering machine
    messages could be brutal. XD

    For me, those were the best part of the show. What bugged me about Rockfish was he was always getting beat up. For someone in his line of work, you'd think he'd be able to handle himself better. They had some interesting characters, Angel being my favorite. On the whole it wasn't bad, but got too predictable.

    And that was the problem with most of these shows, they were very formulatic so none of them kept me invested for long.
