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.
