This is slightly off topic, but thought this was the best place to ask. I looked up NBC Mystery Movie on Wikipedia and it says that the pilots for The Rockford Files and Kojak were aired as one-off Mystery Movies. I don't think that this is correct. Firstly, Kojak was a CBS series (though that doesn't necessarily make the article incorrect). Secondly, I thought that all the Mystery Movies featured one of its rotating characters and that there weren't any one-time characters.
Before I go and change the article, can someone say for sure that it is incorrect and that my suspicions are correct? Many thanks.

steve as far as i know, and i'm pretty darn sure of this, the rockford files and kojak were series onto their own, just as you have said.
i disagree with the wikipedia entry......but that wouldn't be the first time. that place is notorious for unsubstantiated 'facts'.
if i were you...i would go 'edit' it away! good luck!!

The NBC Mystery Movie series of the 70s comprised (in rotation): Columbo. McCloud and McMillan and Wife (the most succesful ones) and also Madigan, Banacek, Hec Ramsey, Cool Million, Faraday and Company, The Snoop Sisters, McCoy, Amy Presntiss and Tenafly

The first 4 Quincy stories in 1976 were also placed in the strand before the series was given a standalone status

Thanks Paul
You've just answered my question, I was trying to remember the name of the detective.The actor we see now in repeats of Perry Mason.His role is Lt Brock,I forget his real name.He was of course Tenafly, and if memory serves it didn't do to well?

Only 4 installments of "Firefly" AFAIK

"The Cash and Carry Caper"
"Joyride to Nowhere"
"Man Running"
"The Window That Wasn't"

Mind you only 3 "Amy Prentiss" stories it seems.

Most of these Mystery Movie series began with an earlier pilot like Columbo (Prescription Murder), but not all.

Tenafly of course!

What about Ironside or was this series seperate, and not titled mystery movie ?

Ironside was a separate series, not part of Mystery Movie.
