- StarsDavid MorganTelford JacksonPenelope SheltonA boy has a boomerang and when he throws it everything around him stopped,except him ,so he can do whatever we wants, including stopping crime.Not many remember this, but it was about a boy who had a magic boomerang that when he threw it, time stood still

- CreatorKenneth JohnsonStarsBill BixbyLou FerrignoJack ColvinA fugitive scientist has the curse of becoming a powerful green monster under extreme emotional stress.Not great special effects but good acting and the massively muscled Lou Ferrigno makes this a great watch
- CreatorRichard LevinsonWilliam LinkStarsPeter FalkMike LallyJohn FinneganLos Angeles homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo uses his humble ways and ingenuous demeanor to winkle out even the most well-concealed of crimes.One of the most watchable detective series from the 70s

- CreatorEd SpielmanHerman MillerStarsDavid CarradineRadames PeraKeye LukeThe adventures of Shaolin Monk Kwai Chang Caine as he wanders the American West armed only with his skill in Kung Fu.David Carradine was awful, Bruce Lee should have been in this. But still very watchable for it's time.

- CreatorLeonard FreemanStarsJack LordJames MacArthurKam FongThe investigations of Hawaii Five-0, an elite branch of the Hawaii State Police answerable only to the governor and headed by stalwart Steve McGarrett.Great series that has dated somewhat, but McGarratt is stil cool. The newer remake of the series isn't too bad though
- CreatorDavid LevyStarsJohn AstinCarolyn JonesJackie CooganThe misadventures of a blissfully macabre but extremely loving family.Mysterious and Cookie series indeed
