Did Petrocelli ever get his house finished?

[10ClarionSt]

There he was, sawing another piece of timber when a "job" came up so off he went again leaving just a chimney breast standing in the desert. Did he ever get it done?

[snags]

Great question. No idea...

[sandyRoe]

I don't think so. Last I saw of him was in a Jessica Fletcher Murder she wrote episode.

[starone]

Was he being Petrocelli or was he the murderer?

[Bobbisox]

was this that one eyed detective?

[snags]

No that was Columbo...

[sandyRoe]

He was building a house in Arizona. As far as I know he had both eyes when he started.

Used to love the show, I don't recall him ever finishing his house. We were in Arizona a couple of years ago, every trailer at the side of a building site elicited "It's Petrocelli" from himself.

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha so it was, but is Petrocelli of the same ilk?

[Bobbisox]

I am lost now...;-(((

[starone]

Sounds like a type of pasta, doesn't he? Petrocelli bolognese?

[sandyRoe]

He may have been the murderer in MSW. To tell the truth when it's on I tend to lose attention.
Anyone remember Cannon?

[Bobbisox]

my brother looks just like him now Sandy...fat and bald with a black mustache,,

[starone]

Yep. He was so fat I wouldn't have thought he could catch anything leave alone a fast moving criminal with a gun. The Americans have some funny ideas about detectives don't they. Can you imagine Jessica Fletcher walking into one of our police stations and then they let her see all the evidence. No wonder you lose your concentration Sandy.

[snags]

William Conrad...

[sandyRoe]

Then there was Rockford which I used to think wasn't bad. He lived in a caravan too, like Petrocelli.

[Bobbisox]

we have a policeman living across the street who is enormous in height and width..

[Bobbisox]

Ohhh James Garner, he was a bit of alright, he was

[Mamyalynne]

Oh my favourite was Banacek with George Peppard.
