AboutMarcia Studley Expertise I`m a true member of the tv generation! I grew up doing my homework while watching the classics of the 60`s and 70`s and today, they are still my favorites. I have a big library of tv and film reference books at my disposal, as well as a large video library. My memory is pretty darn good too, and when that fails, I can hit the books and/or videos, not to mention a few friends who are as devout tv gen members as I am. Please note that my expertise is with American tv only.

Question QUESTION: Hi Marcia
A friend was asking me about a 70's (he thinks) TV show about a private eye who either lived on a houseboat, or had a friend who did. I couldn't help him, so I'm hoping that you can. He's looking for the name of the show. Thanks so much !
ANSWER: HI Diana,
70's or 60's? The 60's had a famous TV show about private eyes who worked out of a houseboat. It was called Surfside Six. Lee Patterson, Van Williams, and Troy Donahue were the stars. Is that what you're thinking of?
Onward!

QUESTION: That's not it. He's pretty sure it was in the 70's. Any more help? I can't believe how quickly you responded. Thanks !
Answer HI again ...
You just caught me at the right time. I can't think of any 70's P.I's on a houseboat. Now, MacGyver in the 80's had a houseboat for one year, but he's not a P.I.
Any more info to go on? Character name? Location of the show? Anything?
