I Used To Watch This?

Mike Torello is a lieutenant in the Major Crimes division of the Chicago police back in the 60s. He takes his job seriously, and maybe a bit personal. He's a tough as nails cop and he and his crew are ready to take down organized crime by any means necessary. Check it out.

Also know as, Bridge Across Time, is a TV movie about Jack the Ripper somehow traveling through time to 1985 Arizona. Specifically, to the London Bridge that was moved from London to Arizona. See, it all makes perfect sense. This movie stars David Hasselhoff, Stepfanie Kramer, Randolph Mantooth and Adrienne Barbeau, so a very big named cast. The Hoff is a cop who moved from Chicago, we hear about...

One has Bob playing Bob who is a psychologist living in Chicago. And Newhart has Bob as Dick who purchases an Inn in Vermont with his with. Both shows have their odd characters and each first episode features a classic Bob on the phone...

Oh, the 80s. You can have a show that is basically for kids, but the main kid is kind of a scheming jerk and would drive adults crazy. That is "It's You Move" for you.

According to Bateman it was cancelled because parents complained. Check it out!

Columbo like the guy, it seems, and genuinely likes hanging out with him even as he is trying to prove him guilty. Ward  (Shatner) seems to have a little problem separating his TV persona from real life and tries to help Columbo. It's gets a little weird, but it is...

Face has some scheme worked up where he is pretending to be a music promoter and has access to some top country musician so he can somehow host a concert and take all of the money?
