No reason to remake

Some actors own their TV cop roles. Jack Lord. Gene Barry. Mike Connors. Craig Stevens. A fine actor, Peter Strauss is a weak Gunn. I knew Blake Edwards loved the character but remaking and watering down a show that was noir heaven for many viewers (and producing a pallid movie version in 1966, at least with Stevens but suffered without Albright and Bernardi) was not a successful venture and fun to sit through.
