A short-lived series, only 16 episodes and a pilot were made over two seasons, but this was one of my favorite detective shows since I was first baffled by the mysteries 35 years ago. Staring George Peppard as the unflappable Polish detective who was proud of his heritage and featuring mysteries that were down right impossible (or so they seemed) this program is just as engaging and mind-boggling as it was when it first aired. Previously released as two season sets, the complete series is now available in one handsome 5 disc set. Thomas Banacek (George Peppard) is a cool, smooth, and slightly arrogant freelance insurance investigator.

In the middle of a televised NFL football game, a star running back is tackled. As the referee pulls the other players off he discovers that the running back has disappeared! He's not at the bottom of the pile, and only his helmet is left to testify that he was ever there. Windows 7 Torrent Iso Tpb here. With no secret tunnels or the like, how could someone just vanish in front of a million fans watching on TV? One of my favorite episodes is equally mysterious. Banacek is called in when a very expensive main-frame computer disappears. It's the size of a room, and is contained in a smallish building that is surrounded by a barbed wire topped electric fence and state-of-the-art alarms.

Even if someone could get past the security, how could they ever dismantle and move a gigantic computer without the guards noticing? Now you see it. Now you don't. While the conundrums that Banacek comes across are the main draw to the show, his personality is what makes the program so fun to watch. He's not only suave and wealthy (he drives around in a beautiful '41 Packard when not in a chauffeured limo and lives in a tastefully decorated townhouse filled with antiques and art,) but he's very confident of his abilities to the point of being arrogant.
