...Lome Greene, for example, formerly the gruff boss of the Ponderosa ranch on Bonanza, is reincarnated as Griff (ABC), an ex-police captain who opens an antique-filled office as a Los Angeles private eye. The impossible-mission gambit is given a new workout by shows like Chase (NBC), which stars Mitchell Ryan as the head of a police unit assigned to cases other departments cannot handle...
...black sleuths, CBS'S James-Bonded superstud Shaft (played by Richard Roundtree, who created the role in the film of the same title), and NBC'S Tenafly, a harassed family man who is just another employee at an outfit called Hightower Investigations, Inc.

His balding head seems to come to a point, his chin is somehow thin and droopy at the same time, his lips look pinched even when he smiles, and he has a fondness for gray suits. Even after five years as Canada's Opposition Leader, Stanfield conceded that "there are a good many Canadians to whom I'm still a bit obscure...
