They're all dire, but I suppose that's the idea. Maybe it's time Hart to Hart was given another run, sufficiently cheesy for most daytime tastes, and at least Freeway the dog gets the odd good line.

Columbo sucks, what is the feckin point of knowing who did the murder at the start of the show, how it lasted for about 20 years is a miracle.
Quincy superb
Diagnosis Murder OK
What about Magnum PI getting a rerun ??

Strange poll!
That's like saying
"who was the least worst dictator: Ini Amin, Hitler, or Magabe?"
They're all appalling... quote I'm Alan Partridge Episode One.
Alan: Right, OK. ‘Shoestring’, ‘Taggart’, ‘Spender’, ‘Bergerac’, ‘Morse’. What does that say to you about regional detective series’?
Tony: There’s too many of them?
Alan: That’s one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is, ‘people like them, let’s make some more of them’. A detective series based in Norwich called ‘Swallow’. Swallow is a detective who tackles vandalism. Bit of a maverick, not afraid to break the law if he thinks it’s necessary. He’s not a criminal, but he will, perhaps, travel 80mph on the motorway if he, for example, he wants to get somewhere quickly…
Alan: Think about it. No-one had heard of Oxford before ‘Inspector Morse’. I mean, this will put Norwich on the map.
Tony: Why would I want to do that?
Alan: Yep, fair point.

It's a tough one with Columbo just edging out Quincy for me.
