A&E was better when they showed The Rockford Files, McMillan and Wife, Police Story, Lou Grant, Columbo, Ellery Queen, Delvecchio, City of Angels, McCloud, O’Hara, U.S. Treasury, and The Fugitive. And I can remember back in the mid to late 1980s, it was considered a premium channel and it showed all sorts of Technicolor 1940s musicals.
All great shows.
Loved Rockford Files and Columbo.
