Mannix
Mannix was a television detective series that aired in the US on CBS for eight seasons from 1967 to 1975. The series starred Mike Connors as Joseph "Joe" Mannix, a private investigator who along with his African-American secretary, Peggy Fair (played by Gail Fisher, one of the very first African-American actresses to have a regular role on a network series) helped to solve cases within the city of Los Angeles. In the series, Mannix was of Armenian descent (like Connors himself), and was proficient in most athletics, including being a black belt in Karate, a decent skier, and an excellent pool player. In Season 1 of the series, Mannix worked for a high-tech investigative firm known as "Intertect", but starting in Season 2, he was seen working out of his own office on 17 Paseo Verde, West LA. A veteran of the Korean War, Mannix was seen to carry a Walther PP in Season 1, which can be seen in the intro, but started to carry a Colt Detective Special from Season 2 onwards. The show won the "Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama" in 1971, which was late Season 4 and early Season 5. Mike Connors himself also won an award for his portrayal of Mannix, the 1969 Golden Globe Awards (for which he was nominated six consecutive times) and 4 straight Emmy nominations from 1970 to 1973. Mannix, the series itself, was twice nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Dramatic Series. In 1972, writer Mann Rubin won an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for the episode "A Step in Time" (S5E03). The series was developed by Bruce Geller, the creator of the hit series Mission: Impossible.
