remember that short-lived series very fondly. If my memory is correct,
it was created by Something Glen Caron of later Moonlighting fame and
starred Wayne Rogers. It was set in the 1930s and is full of Chandler
references and touches. >

Your memory is excellent (as usual). I'm wondering if, since they've
found that program if someone will remember a similar '30s LA detective
program that was very Chandlerian entitled BANYON? It was very close to
Marlowe and starred Robert Forester (who just resurrected his career
playing bail bondsman Max Cherry in JACKIE BROWN). It also starred
Richard Jaekle as Banyon's police detective friend/foil. Only lasted a
season sometime in the late '60s, and hasn't been aired since, so far as
I know.
