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. ---------------------------------------------------------- Michael D.
