MANNIXFor eight seasons on CBS (1967-75), Mike Connors starred as Joe Mannix, a private eye in the hardboiled tradition. From Thrilling Detective: "Formerly the pride of Intertect, a high-tech detective firm, Joe left to start his own detective agency where he relied less on sophisticated gadgetry and more on his own wits and a wicked right hook. This Korean War veteran is remarkably even-tempered and seems to take fist fights, high-speed car chases and bullet wounds in stride." Mannix also had the distinction of making two somewhat surprising crossover appearances: Mike Connors guest-starred -- in character -- on Here's Lucy and on Diagnosis Murder.
The hip theme was created by film and television composer Lalo Shifrin, whose themes also include Medical Center and Mission: Impossible.
