Classic TV/Made for TV movies

Post up your links and memories to the golden age of tv and shite films that never made it at the cinema but you loved.
I'd probably draw the line at about 1989. Love to see links or even just memories of watching 60s 70s and 80s US cop/PI tv series such as Quincy MD, Eddie Capra Mysteries, Petrocelli etc.

Although it probably doesn't count as classic TV, I remember liking a US cop series, which was a vehicle for a very young, attractive and unknown Kim Bassinger, called "Dog and Cat." One short series, as I recall.
Also a comedy cop show, about a cop and his android partner "Holmes and Yoyo," sticks in my mind.

Columbo.
Heads for the door, turns...
'My mind's all over the place at the moment. Mrs Columbo is having women's problems, but that doesn't concern you, not sure why I mentioned it, but you said that you were in New York on the 19th, but your diary says that you were in LA. That's a 7000 mile difference. That confuses me'.

Duel is a classic film, watched it when I was a kid.
Kurt Russell did a film called Breakdown, which is similar to Duel and also very good.
Play Misty for me - Clint Eastwood's directorial debut.
