Mannix

Mannix began its appearance on
television September 7, 1967 and remained at CBS until August
24, 1975 with 154 episodes being filmed.
During the first season Joe
Mannix, played by Mike Connors, worked as a
detective for Intertect, a computerized private detective
agency. Stories follow the format of Mannix being a
loner who constantly goes against the
rules and regulations of the detective
organization. Lou Wickersham, his boss
who believes in the computerized and scientific methods of
solving cases, is against Joe's approach to solving
cases.
The second season Mannix has his own
detective agency in the same building he lived. He hired
secretary Peggy Fair, the wife of a cop friend of his
who was killed in the line of duty. Lt. Adam Tobias of
the Los Angeles police department became Mannix's friend and
contact on the police force. The series dealt with many
high-speed car chase scenes and fisticuffs as Mannix
solves case after case each week.
