I was flipping around the channels this weekend and noticed the "Sleuth Channel" on cable. According to SleuthChannel.com:
Sleuth, an NBC Universal Cable network, launched January 1, 2006. Sleuth is currently available to more than 5 million homes. Sleuth is the first entertainment cable channel dedicated entirely to the intensely popular and enduring mystery and crime genres. Sleuth offers an exclusive lineup of exciting television shows, movies and other mystery and crime programming from NBC Universal’s vast collection. Popular show titles: Miami Vice, Knight Rider, The A-Team and Homicide: Life on the Street
Yep, you can relive your teenage years a little (if you're as freakin' old as me) with shows like the A-Team, Knight Rider, and one of my favorites Simon and Simon. There's not a lot of variety yet, but hopefully we'll see more older crime dramas down the road.

At least there"s some action back on TV.I'M getting bored with lawyers.doctors. and CSI"s. The only good action show is NCIS that show has good writters and excellent actors As for as the SLEUTH NETWORK,I"d love to see it,but DirectTV DOES"NT HAVE IT,so I guess I"LL just have to wait until DirectTV or NBC Universal makes a move! I wander if thoes 5 million homes are all owned by NBC CEOS?

Thank you, Thank you for showing these great old series and movies. I am from the era that enjoyed them when first aired and am glad to be able to see them again, especially "Homicide, Life On The Street" Possibly one of THE best drama series ever. Why it was taken off, I'll never know. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for a terrific channel. I couldn't believe that I found "Homicide, Life On The Streets" tonight while channel surfing. Then, Miami Vice right after that! I look forward to tuning in to some great tv viewing!

Just got Sleuth on Dish net. Is this going to be permanent, or is it only on cable? Love the old shows and enjoy seeing them again! JO

Love your Sleuth channel but you need to show some of the last three seasons of Simon and Simon instead of reruning the same ones over and over.How about adding something new like Manix, Barney Jones,and Cannon for example.If you don't refresh now and again you will certainly loose me.

Do not like Sleuth Channel's new lineup. Dateline does not fit the Sleuth Category. Where is Rockford Files, Hawaii Five O, Columbo, CHIPS, Remington Steel, KoJak,
McCloud, McMillan and Wife, Charlie's Angels, Nash Bridges and other such programs in your future. Need less of The Equilizer and more of Dragnet. You advertise Columbo on the Web Site but have yet to see him on the Tube. What about it folks, get some real Sleuth programs and then you legitimately call yourself the Sleuth Channel.

Thanks for EZ Streets, the best crime drama ever. Would love to see Cannon, Jake & the Fat Man & Cobra also.

About the Sleuth Channel. I am currently experiencing my first ever DirecTV experience, and one of the first stations I noticed I had and was initially excited to see available to me was The Sleuth Channel...That was until, I saw how limited and redundant their lineup is...I mean come on, no "Cannon", no "Spenser For Hire", no "Mike Hammer", no "Dan August", no "Barnaby Jones", no "Peter Gunn", no "M-Squad", no "Longstreet", no "Matt Houston"???!!!
This station has some serious expanding to do, how can you call yourselves a "Sleuth Channel" and not feature these most dynamic of classic Private Eyes...That's kind of sad to omit their onscreen legacies...I can get "Magnum" and other overrated detective shows on these awful cable outlets on a regular basis, I'm hoping that "Sleuth" would become the exception to the rule...But I'm not holding my breath for that...

I have attempted to post several times at the Sleuth Channel's web forum, with no success, I registered a week or so ago, and tried to contact the site administrator to correct the problem.
No response...Just like USA, CBS, Paramount, and all the rest. I remember when the networks used to care about what their viewers thought and how they felt, and some used to make the effort to respond to your questions.
I can safely say with confidence and a bit of sorrow that this is nowhere near the case today.

i wonder who does the programing for this channel. you have taken a chanel with promise and made another useless channel. i am tired of the same shows day in andday out.where are the old barnaby jones, cannon, old mike hammer, shows. it gets old watching the same shows over and over all month long. this channel, after the first week in the month is like all the other channels, boring. revolve more and differentshows during the month!!!!!!
Posted by: stan wintzell at June 24, 2007 3:21 PM
slueth you have a great channel but i need to see more vairty of series and less movies during the day i watch your channel because it brings back a lot of memories and they are clean and not too bloody the shows today are very offensive and make me sick. dont get me wrong i like alot of series but try to avoid the blood and gore. i have memorizied homicide in the city and miami vice and proflier and medical investigations and the most of all magnim p i which this show is played on 2 or three differnt channels. there are so many great series out there that you look in best buy and they have 3 aisles devoted to series of the past. i have my daughter even watching with me on occasion. also your movies are the same ones over and over. i realley get excited and the first channel i go to is slueth only to see a rerun. what can be done for you people to wake up. you see i have no life only have come to watching sleuth. who could we contact to get this going not only complaining. i feel alot of you feel the same anthing that can be done let me know

Where did the Rockford Files go??? Why do you keep repeating the same Simon & Simon shows. That was a great series, so are you showing the same ones over and over again. Magnum is also great. Why not Hart to Hart. It is old but it was great.
We do not need the blood and gore programs of today. They are not entertainment!!!
Posted by: susan barra at January 11, 2008 8:26 AM
Please add Hart to Hart .....
Posted by: e at February 5, 2008 12:19 PM
Where are the Rockford FIles? Can;t believe you took them off. Also where are:Cannon, Spenser for Hire, Mike Hammer, Barnaby Jones, Peter Gunn, etc. You are missing the boat by not showing these.....so much better than the blood and guts we get on CBS, NBC, ABC & Fox. You have some serious expanding to do, how can you call yourselves a "Sleuth Channel" It is very disappointing that you have chosen to omit the above legacies. I was hoping that "Sleuth" would become the exception to the rule and show us some of the real classics.

i would like to see some different shows on your network. not just the same thing 3 or 4 times a day. such as, starsky & hutch, scarecrow & mrs. king, mannix, and barnaby jones. please consider putting these shows on your wonderful network. thanks
Posted by: karn45 at April 16, 2008 12:03 AM
