I watched Remington Steele back in the early '80's and LOVED it. I saw an episode a couple of years back (it may have been in 2000... more than a couple of years) and was really disappointed in it. I was almost embarrassed at how much I liked it in my crazy youth (okay, I was married and pregnant with my third child, but I was still REALLY young!)
I may give it a try anyway.

Ever notice how many of the pickles our heroes in Remington Steele get into could be easily and painlessly resolved if they just had cell phones?

I did the same thing with Man From Atlantis, maui babe. When I was little (and in my defense, I was really young at the time), I thought that The Man From Atlantis was one of the best shows on TV. I caught an episode of it on TV Land a few years back, and was morbidly fascinated by how horrible it was.

All of them. The first season of Remington Steele is delightful. It's light business. The dialogue is brisk, and the characters are charming, and the crimes are directly related to the dynamic between Miss Holt and Mr. Steele. Most importantly, Miss Holt is the star of the show. After that first season, Steele becomes the star, he is too perfect for my taste, it seems to just become another mystery show.
Remington Steele isn't the West Wing, but it is brisk and refreshing.
