Has it been that long?

Apparently it has. I thought I remembered these guys outlasting Magnum, but it looks like, via the Wayback Machine, I was wrong.

Apropos of not a lot, I remember when TV tried to entertain, maybe even uplift, the viewers. Wha' happen'?

Can I just ask one question?

Who are these guys? Is this part of the 70s that I, er, missed?

Simon and Simon

Two brothers (one Vietnam vet, one geeky) playing private detective... pretty sucky show too! (sorry Sarah!)

In retrospect, maybe it doesn't hold up; but it sucks less

even in retrospect than "Big Brother," "Saturday Night Fights," "Lost," "Alias," "24," "The Unit," "Flashpoint," "Survivor," "According to Jim," ... you get the idea.

Magnum, McGyver, and Simon & Simon were all 1980s dramas, lambert.
