Line 16:
* ''[[McMillan and Wife]]'': known as ''McMillan'' in its final season.
* ''[[Hec Ramsey]]'' (1972-74)
* ''[[Amy Prentiss]]'' (1974-75): focusing on the first female Chief of Police in San Francisco, played by Jessica Walter. The pilot aired [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot|in disguise]] as the double-length ''[[Ironside]]'' episode "Amy Prentiss: AKA, The Chief." Incidentally, the City by the Bay wouldn't have a real female chief of police [[wikipedia:Heather Fong|until 2004]].
* ''[[McCoy (TV series)|McCoy]]'' (1975-76): the first American TV series to star Tony Curtis, here playing a con man in the [[Robin Hood]] mold.

{{tropelist|The ''Wednesday Mystery Movie'' elements in order of debut:}}
* ''[[Banacek]]'': George Peppard as a Polish-American insurance investigator, based in Boston. This was the only element to appear in both seasons.
* ''[[Madigan]]'' (1972-73): Richard Widmark reprised his role from the 1968 movie of the same name (suggesting, despite how the movie ended, that Madigan was [[Not Quite Dead]]) as a tough New York cop.
* ''[[Cool Million]]'' (1972-73): James Farentino as a private investigator plying his trade to the jet set and upper crust (the title refers to how much he charges per case).
* ''[[Faraday
* ''[[Tenafly]]'' (1973-74): Another [[Levinson and Link]] creation, with James McEachin as the only black lead in this incarnation of the ''Mystery Movie'' lineup, playing one of the unflashiest, most down-to-earth detectives (of any colour) on television - a happily married family man just doing a job.
* ''[[The Snoop Sisters]]'' (1973-74): Leonard Stern's second contribution to the ''Mystery Movie'' wheel (he also co-created ''McMillan And Wife''), with Helen Hayes and Mildred Natwick as mystery-writing sisters who, like [[Murder, She Wrote|Jessica Fletcher]] years later, tended to stumble across real-life mysteries.
