Paul Burke question

OMG - I too was very young when this show was on. I truly thought it was about naked people and once sneakily and quietly stayed up past bedtime to watch the beginning. Boy was I disappointed when it was a chase scene with fully clothed policemen - so I slinked off to bed!
Anyway, I discovered this fascinating show on ME-TV in Chicago this past year. I love Paul Burke - what a natural actor! I was just really becoming interested with this show when I read he passed away.
I don't believe Adam and Libby ever married. She was always his fiancee during the series. She resembles Amy Poehler a bit to me and also was a great addition to the show - I believe she became a director later in life.

My only complaint is that ME shows the same episodes over and over, out of order, etc. I know there are MANY I have not seen, but the same handful seem to be in rotation.

After seeing many of these episodes on MeToo (and staying up waaaay too late, as I am right now) I have too say I find the Libby character boring and a cliche.

It was VERY cliche in the early 60s to feature a woman who lives in NYC, has no job, and lives alone in a nice apartment while trying to become an ACTRESS.
At the time, that would have meant mostly theater work. Enough to get by if you worked CONSTANTLY.
So all she does is take classes and go on auditions. That's it.
I don't know if I disliked the character or Nancy Malone more, but I think it's just the character.

If you're looking for a good episode try the one with Christopher Walken as Eddie Albert's son. Albert's other son is played by Paul O'Keefe from The Patty Duke Show. Walken is about 20 years old and Eddie Albert is very good.

Another episode about trying to be an actor in the New York of the early 60s features Roddy McDowell as a broke actor who's about to get kicked out of his apartment, so he starts killing and robbing cabbies.
Sounds more logical today.
The cost of rent vs. income in Manhattan has gone WAY WAY up since then.

Hah, I didn't know that they had too many shows with "naked" people back then on the tube

Who cares. Paul Burke was terrible in this show. He grins like an idiot whenever, he seems to dismiss his girlfriend as anything but a play toy for his ego, he disrespects his lieutenant, he treats his partner, Acaro, like a lackey, and his investigatory skills seems to be based solely in esoteric and illogical thinking skills. It is so painful to watch this show, except for an occasional episode not rooted in bizarre characters doing bizarre things. The movie this show is based on is, in my opinion, the best police procedural movie ever made. Watch it if you dare to see a neat film-noir with even the lesser performances still head and tails above the rest. Skip the TV show unless you watch it BEFORE watching the movie.
