I had recorded several and started watching them. They weren't nearly as good as I remember. Frankly, Richard Boone's mustache was very ..."

I always liked Richard Boone. He was a great tough guy.. a bit in the vein of Lee Marvin. I know alot of the tv westerns of the 1950's and 60's were similar yet I have found them to be consistently entertaining

I think the first Mosley I read was not a detective book. It was

Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned featuring an even better character..."

Yes! enjoyed the film..far more than the other Mosely film..think it was

I just bought Seasons 3 & 4 of The Mentalist..already have first 2 seasons. I really consider it one of the finest shows of the past several decades. A mix of Conan Doyle, Chandler, Hammett, Elmore Leonard, Dragnet, ...well you get the idea!

I am reading and loving!! James Mason member Keith Thomson's Pirates of Pensacola..published some years back, Keith retained the digital rights nad has now published it as an e-book. Very very funny and enjoyable "modern" pirate tale..ranks with Hiaasen and Leonard in the comic Florida novel genre!
