Who remembers Richard Roundtree as New York private detective, John Shaft? The movie and then tv series theme song was done by Isaac Hayes and topped the charts in November of 1971. I have always enjoyed watching a good detective or law enforcement drama. If you also like this type of film and are not familiar with Shaft, I recommend that you check it out.

I guess my favorite private investigator from back in the day was played by Tom Selleck in the tv show, Magnum P.I. The show was set in Hawaii and ran from 1980 to 1988. Selleck later starred in another tv series that soon became a favorite of mine. I don’t think I have missed an episode of Blue Bloods since it debuted in 2000. Sadly, CBS has decided to bring the show to an end in December. After fourteen years of spending an hour with the Reagan family on Friday nights, I will join thousands of other fans to bid them a sad farewell.
