Columbo - big daddy of them all
Starsky (& Hutch) - Yes, I liked Starsky better too. I was just a small kid & remember seeing ALL of their episodes during the 1st run.
Banacek - but he was only around for 1 season (I think) -

Not mentioned already (I think) was
Longstreet
, which intrigued meJames Franciscus as a blind investigator although technically he wasn't a police or private detective. I was about nine years old and the distinction was lost on me at the time. Then I got really into
Baretta
although in retrospect it may have been the theme song that hooked me; on the other hand, when I began to see Tom Ewell in movies later on, I thought, hey, it's that guy from
Baretta
.
The Streets of San Francisco
was one I began watching again in syndication; I liked Mike Stone a bit better than Steve Keller. But
Barney Miller
is the one from the period that has really stuck with me. Dietrich is still my favorite. In fact, that dry, understated sense of humor is what I've been trying to emulate for decades. I thought he was hilarious.
