I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds George

That's all well and good, but if I haven't seen it, I couldn't tell you who's in it! :) George

"Homeward Bound"? George

My first thought was "Hot Dog," but that starred Woody Allen and Jonathan Winters. Both clues seem vaguely familiar, but I may need more help. George

"I Am a Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel? George

"Raiders of the Lost Ark"? George

Det. Tibbs joins reporter Carl Kolchak in a Mississippi town to investigate supernatural occurrences. George

It is Jimmy Cagney, but from "White Heat." Good enough. Your go. George

Seriously. George

Well, I'm glad you're secure in your self-worth. Now we just have to work on your sense of humor. :) George

It is, indeed. (And the brothers are better than average fighters and marksmen, and have friends who can hack into any system...) George

If no one else gives it a try (WordWolf?), I'll accept the actor's name for the answer. George

"The Hunt for Red October Skies" George

Ummm....correct. George

Right you are, Rocky! (Don't expect ever to hear that, from me, again.) And Excie. It is, indeed Groucho who is Mr. Matrix: Dot and Groucho George

Two brothers take on vampires, ghosts, hellhounds, shape-shifters, leviathans, tricksters, demons, and occasionally angels. George

Silly me. That pretty much describes EVERY 21st century TV show. :lol: Real mash-up to come shortly. George

This 21st century show features a character who can hack into any computer or system, and a world-class martial artist. George

"Ben Casey," then? George

I believe that that's Oakspear. I get them confused, too! George

I recognize that as the opening to an oldie, but I'm not sure which. "Dr. Kildare"? George

"On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood! What was will be! What is will be no more! Now is the season of evil!" "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right." George

That's it! George

THAT's the answer I was looking for (although it was NBC, not CBS). "NBC Mystery Theater" rotated 90-min episodes of different mystery ("detective," if you will) series. The first four were Columbo, McCloud, McMillan and Wife, and Banacek; and these were the only ones carried over for more than one season. In addition to the others I listed, there were a few more, the most notable being Quincy (also the only one to spin off as an hourly series). First, the shows were on Wednesday night, then Sunday night shows were added, then Wednesday shows moved to Tuesday. Eventually, all the 90-minute shows went away, probably because they couldn't get syndication contracts. I hate to say it, but you're up, hiway! George

Banacek was really an insurance investigator. Hec Ramsey was a deputy sheriff. All investigated crimes, so they could be considered "detectives," but that wasn't their official designation. There was something that united all of those shows. Investigation of crimes is PART of the answer. George
