Hawaiian Eye This Warner Bros. series about murder in Paradise starred handsome boy toys Robert Conrad, Anthony Eisley and Grant Williams. This unlikely gang of P.I.’s teamed up with pretty and perky Connie Stevens to solve murder and mysteries in Honolulu. Poncie Ponce was thrown in to add a bit of island-style humor to the mix.
	Honey West Considered to be the first full-fledged female detective on television, the beautiful and blonde Anne Francis starred as Honey West. Originally a spin-off from an episode of Burke’s Law, the show only lasted one season in 1965. The series was original in that the heroine was a martial arts expert and, like James Bond, used electronic gadgetry including faux olive-shaped transmitters in her martinis to catch crooks.
	Mike Hammer Long before he played the irascible father in the film, A Christmas Story, character actor Darren McGavin starred from 1958-1960 as hard-boiled detective, Mike Hammer. While the action was fast and furious, McGavin played the tough gumshoe with a wry sense of humor that author Mickey Spillane never fully appreciated.
	Mr. and Mrs. North This sophisticated murder mystery series began as a book, then a Broadway play, a movie (starring Gracie Allen) and a long-running radio show before making it to television in 1953. A fun-loving couple, Jerry and Pamela North (Richard Demming and Barbara Britton), just can’t help but become involved in crimes in New York City.
