Does anybody remember this show? I do just barely. All I can recall is Anne Francis' mole! She played a tough female detective. Detective shows were cooler back then (I feel) and often the dectective had some sort of gimmick to make his character unique. For example Columbo was an uncultured slob usually pitted against some high class megalomaniac.Longstreet was blind, Ironside was crippled, Cannon was fat and Barnaby Jones was 500 years old. Honey West's gimmick was her syrupy allure and the way she handled a .45 (hell, I dunno if it was a .45, but it sounded like some hard-boiled innuendo to me.) She was a femme fatale before the term became cliche.
