Guys,
Loved the ’80s Detective TV Shows episode. My favorite show was Magnum P.I.
Magnum is currently streaming for free on the Ruko channel along with some of the other 1980s TV detective shows you discussed.
One thing I wanted to remind you of, was that the 80’s did crossovers. With TV stars of one show showing up on other TV shows.
Simon & Simon crossed over to Magnum P.I. on the October 7, 1982 episode.
Murder, She Wrote also crossed over to Magnum P.I. on the November 19, 1986 episode.
Keep up the great work. Love listen to your podcast while I drive for work.
Thanks,
I’d forgotten about that one. Thanks, Bart!
