Let’s Take It from the Beginning

Yeah, yeah, I know: I’m a slacker. For the second week in a row, I am having to skip writing about one of my favorite TV crime drama openers. Blame this on the fact that I lost five workdays (happily enough) while attending Bouchercon. Or the fact that I’m writing my second book in nine months. In either event, I’m delaying the issuance of my 12th favorite main title sequence until the end of this month. In the meantime, you can catch up on the previous 13 installments in this series. So far, we’ve covered:

• 25. Police Woman (1974-1978)
• 24. Honey West (1965-1966)
• 23. Matt Helm (1975-1976)
• 22. Veronica Mars (2004-2007)
• 21. The Equalizer (1985-1989)
• 20. Mannix (1967-1975)
• 19. Dexter (2006-Present)
• 18. Cagney & Lacey (1982-1988)
• 17. Ironside (1967-1975)
• 16. Chuck (2007-Present)
• 15. Magnum, P.I. (1980-1988)
• 14. The Avengers (1961-1969)
• 13. Hill Street Blues (1981-1987)

Twelve more to go. It sounds like a lot of work--but fun.
