Let Us Now Begin

While collecting some statistics last week on Rap Sheet readership, in preparation for writing about the blog’s seventh (!) birthday, I also took a gander at the roster of most-watched videos on The Rap Sheet’s YouTube channel. Records show that I joined YouTube on July 9, 2006, and since then have been posting primarily opening title sequences from vintage TV crime, mystery, and thriller series. Of the almost 200 videos I’ve gathered thus far, here are the 20 most popular:

1.  Crazy Like a Fox

2.  Wiseguy

3.  Get Christie Love!

4.  Longstreet

5.  Bourbon Street Beat

6.  Hooperman

7.  Kolchak: The Night Stalker

8.  Hec Ramsey (with Ballad)

9 . McMillan & Wife

10. Harry O

11. Johnny Staccato

12. I’ll Fly Away

13. Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law

14. The Delphi Bureau

15. The Devlin Connection

16. Leg Work

17. Mancuso, FBI

18. Tightrope

19. Banacek

20. The Defenders
