There was another detective show on that played opposite The Rockford Files, and I was the only one who ever watched it. It was called Harry O and it starred the late great David Janssen. He played an ex-detective who had to retire because he got a bullet in him that was lodged close to his spine and the doctors couldn't operate. He lived in a ramshackle house right on a beach in San Diego. There was a big fishing boat in the sand called The Answer and he worked on it as a hobby but he could never get it seaworthy. Anyway he would still hire out as a detective on occasion. The show had a really cool, introspective vibe and very nice, cool-tempo type jazz music to go with it. The show lasted two seasons before cancellation because Rockford Files was more popular with the public.
