TBS used to show reruns of "The Saint" all the time when I was a kid.
I always did like the (often maligned) Roger Moore, even in Bond films. A
Crime TV station could also (in my dreams) put the Avengers back on the
air. It's all well and good to see Diana Rigg host Mystery, but I would
love to be able to see her as Emma Peel.
Whoever just asked about who Honey West was/is, there should be a
discussion in the archives of this list. Briefly, she was a female private
detective in a series of paperbacks of the late 50's-early 60's, and then
in her own T.V. series which ran, I believe, '65-'66.
