I love Darren McGavin, but I never much cared for Kolchak. I've tried to get into it, just can't. But then I don't care about "The X-Files" at all either.
"Moonlighting" is one of my all-time favorite shows, but I never, ever watched "Barnaby Jones" or "Ellery Queen" or "Quincy" or "Mannix" or "Cannon" or "Hart to Hart". I don't like the format for the format, I only like it for the personalities driving the particular show.
That's why "The Rockford Files" is my number one all-time favorite show. Yeah, a mystery was ostensibly solved every episode, but who cares? It was about Jimmy and Rocky and Angel and Dennis and Beth interacting week to week. The plots don't even really matter. Love "Moonlighting" and like "Columbo" for the same reason, because the central characters interest me, not the plots.
