Gotta be an old fart like me to remember the Mannix TV series.

Mike Connors played private investigator Joe Mannix on TV from 1967-1975

Pretty cool. I'd forgotten what he drove, likely because it wasn't a GM!

I remember the theme song. Dad liked the song and he would do a silly embellished version when the show was starting.

Mannix, Cannon, we watched all those Quinn-Martin productions.

We used to watch it as kids. Mannix, Cannon, McCloud, Barnaby Jones, McMillan and Wife. All great shows. The theme from Mannix

Gives me an idea. I'll have to see if Kojak or Hawaii 5-0 are on Youtube. I've been casting Hill Street Blues to the TV this week but some variety would be fun.

All of you guys are making me feel extra old. I remember ALL those shows, liked some more than others. I remember watching Mannix as a kid but i do not remember the Dodge. This car now seems like an odd choice for his character. confuse

Nice car. At least it wasn't a F**d product like most of the cop shows from that era. F**d Motor Company had a lot of TV/movie sponsorship.

Mike Connors looked pretty good for his age in the video. He died in 2017 at the age of 91.

This Dart was one of the feature cars at the Fleetwood country cruise-in in London, ON about 10 years ago.

 What a head full of hair on that guy. One thing i remember about him is that he always seemed believable compared to other characters then.

 Ya, take Frank Cannon for instance ... he used to foot chase the odd skinny bad guy and catch him.biggrin

I use to watch all those shows when I was a young lad with my father. Police Story with Angie Dickinson-remember her. She was so hot!!They don't make tv shows like those anymore. Hawaii 5-0 and Streets of San Francisco where also a weekly thing in our house.
