Knowing About Old Mystery TV Shows

By Karina Frost


Everyone around the world has heard about "Murder She Wrote, " "The Hardy Boys, " "Remington Steele, " "Simon and Simon, " "Nancy Drew, " "Mrs. Columbo, " "Columbo" and "McMillan & Wife." These are all old mystery tv shows which were on the three major networks within the United States. The people growing up thirty or forty years ago remember all of these programs very well.

"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.

"Murder She Wrote" was on the air for many years and it featured an older woman who enjoyed solving crimes. She was very much like Ms. Marple in the Agatha Christie books. The main character was quite smart and no killer could ever get the best of her. In the end she would always have the murderer arrested and sent off to prison for their dastardly crime.

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.

Everyone around knows that "The Hardy Boys" brought any party to life since they were so musically talented. Joe Hardy would sing while his brother Frank took the time to romance all of the hot young girls that were around. After this was over the two of them would try to solve various mysteries that went on around their hometown. Love and romance was always in the air whenever these two dashing young men appeared.

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.

"Mrs. Columbo" tried her best to do a good job at solving crimes when her series was introduced to the world. Unfortunately few people have not heard about this particular program since it was not around for very long. The actress playing the lead was a bit young and unknown to many television audiences.
