Yep had him in mind but list was full.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

I'm gonna say Frank Drebin and defend it by saying its certainly possible that he was oblivious to the fact that he wasnt a PI.

[jerryskids 6,585]

Went with Rockford from the list.  I never watched Magnum, although the timing should have been in my wheelhouse, so I don't know why.  

[taco breath 424]

My Rockford alias got banned it's a shame he was a League winner.

Magnum is my all time favorite show and Tom played a PI on Rockford in a few EP's before it. They new Magnum is just watchable but nothing else.

Magnum PI was a straight pimp. He got all the good Hawaiian tail. Sometimes he would even let the helicopter dude join in. Magnum was cool as F

Damn right! 

[wiffleball 4,788]

Oh my gosh yeah, Rockford was just cool as hell. F***** could pull off a checkered sport jacket like nobody's business.  I can hear the theme song playing in my head right now.

 

I guarantee you that lethal weapon stole that whole living in a trailer by the beach thing straight from Jim Rockford!

[frank 2,278]

You coulda said d1ck instead of investigator, just sayin’.

[Mike Honcho 5,129]

Laura Holt from Remington Steele.  

My second cousin was a writer for the show and at the time Stephanie Zimbalist's best friend. As a kid, I wrote the show, and never heard back. Mom called cousin, cousin talked to Stephanie and then she wrote me a real letter and sent me a signed picture. 

Mute this before playing, you've been warned.

Does Kolchak count?  He was a reporter but he investigated things. 

[wiffleball 4,788]

You know, a lot of people think that Buffy was strictly on vampire kind of gal. But she fought other bad guys too.

I changed my mind, it's Blue!

Magnum PI would bang your Mom silly. 

[squistion 1,969]

Although it was before my time, I'll go with Peter Gunn, the 50s TV series, where Gunn is a PI who hangs out in a cool jazz club (with music provided by Henry Mancini) and meets his clients there. It was shot in black and white, film noir style and some episodes can be found in their entirety (less commercials) on YouTube.

Not technically a PI, but an investigator nonetheless.
