I thought Google was an invented term to represent an infinite number. If only the person who thought he invented it had done a Google Word Search....oh, wait.

I'd have to say he got the prospects for the PI on television wrong. Although some of the early ones (the Warner Brothers ones--77 Sunset Strip, Surfside 6, Bourbon Street Beat, Hawaiian Eye) were formulaic trash, Peter Gunn was better than pretty good. And ultimately we got the best PI series--The Rockford Files--and one I loved the first season of--Harry O (loved that his last name was Orwell...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_O).

I even liked the formulaic trash.

Hey, I didn't say I didn't like it. And that's probably a retrospective judgment, too...
