Here's hoping, but most of the recent ones have been gone in
the blink of an eye -- Snoops, Eyes, etc. Several didn't even
get that far -- I now David Mills worked on pilots for two PI
series, one featuring Easy Rawlins, the other a vehicle for
Jimmy Smits. Veronica Mars is the only recent one I can think
of that has lasted into a second season. On the other hand,
Rockford Files is finally out on DVD, with the second season
due in the ot too distant future. (When's someone going to pt
out Harry O, though? Or Brimstone, which was sort of a
fantasy PI show.)
"He may behave a little more like Angel Martin than Jim
Rockford, but it's the thought that counts."
That's what we need, someone to do for PIs what Vic Mackey
has done for
(to?) cops.
