Oh, I just realize this age difference is working for us.
TV series mysteries from before you were born.
Quincy M.E. (I worked for Klugman's cousins.)
Murder She Wrote
Old Agatha Christie movies.
Sherlock Holmes and you can go from the 1930's old B & W movies clear up to modern reinventions like Elementary and Sherlock -- the BBC specials. (I highly recommend the modern versions. Not just mysteries, but true character studies. And the characters are deep but oddly funny.)
Twin Peaks
If you like sci fi in your mysteries (I'm more into scifi), there's Roswell, StarGate (lots of explanations of different mythological gods in that, so it might get you on an Egyptian history/celtic history/Norse myth kick), and Night Stalker is yellow-rag newspaper guy covering stories about creatures of the night. (Not just vamps, but vamp include, I'm sure.)
The following are kind of cheesy detective TV series from the 70's -- Mannix, Streets of San Francisco (the says when Michael Douglas was dreamy, but just a TV star), The original Hawaii 50, and Kojak.
I really wasn't into mysteries or thrillers, but detective shows were as popular in my youth as CSI shows are now, so hard to avoid them. (And, be glad, I did NOT recommend Charlie's Angels. lol)
Still, honestly. Watch Minions if you haven't seen it. That may be up there with ET for an all time favorite now. lol
