Quote:Sam Spade - Boagrt in the Maltese Falcon it just doesn't get any better.As best as I can figure, there's no way you were alive when any of these shows or movies were around. If you were, you were too young to remember them. Do you realize that it's 2002?
Nick Charles - William Powell in The Thin Man, same author as Maltese Falcon and one of the greatest detective series since Sherlock Holmes.
Tony Baretta - Robert Blake as TV's maveric cop, cooler than starsky and hutch combined.
Popeye Doyle - The fuckin man Gene Hackman in "The French Connection."
Frank Bullit - The man who defined cool Steve McQueen in Bullit.
Columbo - Peter Falk as everyones favorite trench coat wearing dick who could solve any case in an hour with commercials and a glass eye to boot.
Too many to list...
Not to pick on you, but I don't understand the people of your generation being so nostalgic. Has nothing good happend in the last 20 years? What about Crocket & Tubbs?
