Ever see a TV show called Man In A Suitcase?
It was about a CIA agent who was fired for some reason and went over to England and started a Private detective agency. Bradford Dillman was the actor and I liked the show. It was gritty and had good plot structure. It was around the same time as HW. Didn't last too long though; the shows I like never do.
I am watching Weeds now; on Showtime. It grows on you...
