I loved Mannix as a youngster, and I have fun watching it on MeTV now. He was a real manly man, tough but he could be tender (as with Peggy & Toby). If times had been different, I believe they would have had Joe & Peggy be a couple. Mike & Gail had a great chemistry together, and he was a good father-figure for Toby. It was one of the great early detective shows, lots of action!
