There's that great line in Blazing Saddles when Sheriff Bart grabs his gun to go capture the fearsome Mongo. "Don't do that," the Waco Kid cautions. "You'll just make him mad." Joe Mannix (Mike Connors in his signature Emmy-winning role) is a lot like that. Cut the brake line in his car, rough him up, or frame him for assault; once he's on a case, he won't quit. Doing the legwork and pursuing the thinnest of leads, Mannix is an old school private eye, which is why it's great to see him out of the high-tech Intertect firm and in his own no-tech private practice with his faithful Girl Friday, Peggy (Gail Fisher in her groundbreaking, Emmy-winning role). Mannix doesn't need computers to do his job. "I don't fly by instruments," he proclaims in "The Girl Who Came in with the Tide," "I fly by the seat of my pants like a barnstorming pilot." Which is why, in "Tide," when he recognizes a slain girl about town at the morgue and discovers she was in the company of the "swinging attorney" who once had Mannix's license suspended, he takes the case as a labor of love. Some cases put his gut instincts to the test. In "A View of Nowhere," he is convinced he witnessed a man trying to strangle a woman, but when he follows up, the couple denies anything is amiss. Some of this season's most compelling cases hit closer to home; in "In Need of a Friend," he reaches out to a man just released from prison after seven years for a crime he didn’t commit, and whom Mannix had helped to convict. Peggy’s love life also keeps him busy. In "Death in a Minor Key," Mannix goes to a small town to help clear the name of Peggy’s jazz musician boyfriend (guest star Yaphet Kotto) after he reveals he is a fugitive, and in "Last Rites for Miss Emma," her latest squeeze may be involved in the theft of morphine. In classic TV PI tradition, Mannix butts heads with the police (including a pre-M*A*S*H Larry Linville, and Robert Reed), but his "reputation" earns him considerable leeway. Mannix was a particularly hard-hitting series in its day, and it’s still bruising. In episode after episode, Mannix takes a licking, but keeps on ticking. His sports coats may now be out of fashion, but this tough and rugged series will never go out of style. In "an uptight world," it’s comforting to know that Mannix is on the job. --Donald Liebenson

The first and second seasons of Mannix contain everything a TV fan could want from a DVD release. Each contains superb color, great audio, original musical score and most of all, great packaging at a reasonable price. I(among others) have long been critical of Paramount's schizophrenic pricing and packaging strategies. Specifically, gouging consumers with partial season sets at twice the going price. But somebody there is doing right by Mannix(at least so far). I hope they keep it up. If Paramount ... Read More

My family and I thoroughly enjoy this detective show. Unlike the smut that is on tv today, Hollywood knew how to create a mind engaging tv detective show that had you guessing "who-dunit" until the end of the show!!

Tough, cool loners don't answer to anyone except themselves, and that's the Mannix way. Go it alone. Be tough. Be smart. And, most importantly of all, be honest, brutally honest. The chicks all dig you, but chicks are a dime a dozen, and besides, you've got things to do. You've got a crime to solve. You've got a mystery to unravel. You've got a bullet to dodge. There are bad guys who think they can handle you, but you make them think about it a whole lot harder. The bad guys end up changing their minds, ... Read More

The first season of Mannix, as I wrote in a review of that DVD, was a major disappointment and did not resemble the popular private eye series that was so popular it lasted many seasons. Fortunately, when Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts became the producers in the second season, they jettisoned the unsuccessful high-tec "Intertect" connection that held the concept back and the series developed the popular format of the "man-of-integrity" and "heart-of-gold" private detective that will do anything to assure that ...

We have enjoyed seeing Mannix Season 1 and 2. We have always loved the show. Now that it is 41 years old it is great to see it again. I can't believe network Television won't rerun this fabulous show anymore. Watching TV Land is a joke, all they do is self promote themselves with their own commerical's - all the classic TV shows are chopped and edited to the point we stopped watching and started buying old Tv Shows on DVD.
Mannix has all those beautiful old cars when American Iron ruled the road ... Read More
