I have watched over 90,000 hours of violent TV shows, and that was before the age of 10. According to the so-called experts, I should be an axe-wielding maniac! But the truth is I learned some valuable life lessons based upon my electronic childhood. Here are my top 5 private detective television shows and the lessons they taught me.
Created by Stephen J. Cannell, The Rockford Files, starring James Garner as Jim Rockford, really broke the mold. For the first time on TV. here was a private detective who would actually quit a case if it got too rough! Jim Rockford taught me that there’s no shame in quitting, in fact, it might just save your life!
Charlie’s Angels was the TV show that taught me about women (hard to believe I’m still single!). I also learned about women’s prisons because it seemed like the angels were always going undercover there for some odd reason.
I had an enormous crush on Farrah Fawcett and was heartbroken when she left the show. But I got a huge break when she did a play in Jupiter, Florida, at the Burt Reynolds Dinner theater. I whined and whined until my mother took me. I was 12-years-old and could not believe my eyes when Farrah Fawcett stepped foot on the stage in the flesh! This was right after she left Charlie’s Angels, in her prime!
Sergeant Pepper Anderson wasn’t actually a private detective, she was a cop, but she did a lot of private detective things, like undercover work, in Police Woman. This great show, starring Angie Dickinson, also taught me about women and police procedure.

Getting information about a doctor’s past can be far more difficult than running a criminal check on the average person. This is because medical boards (which are run by doctors) have traditionally tried to keep this info top secret.
I have nothing against doctors, my dad happens to be one, but we have the right to know who we are dealing with. So if I want to do a background check on my new doctor, here are some great sites that I use!
The state of California has a free site to check doctors’ backgrounds at mbc.ca.gov. But what if you live outside California? Don’t worry, there are sites for you!
If you live outside of California, try DocFinder Searches which lists (and links) states that have doctor information available to the public for free. Or you can pay $9.95 to get any doctor’s background anywhere, just go to docinfo.org.
Do you need medical care, but are uninsured? Try reading my post on Free or Low Cost Health Care and Services for Children & Adults that lists of free clinics and free prescriptions.
