I haven't nearly enough of those shows.
I did watch Ellery Queen on dvd this last year and Barnaby Jones was on Freevee. I liked Barnaby Jones, it was an entertaining show but Ellery Queen is the better show, even though it lasted just one season compared to Barnaby's eight seasons.
I have seen one season of Mannix, which I did like and one season of The Rockford Files, which I liked even more.
But the best of them all has to be Columbo. And that includes any tv series of any time and any movies. Columbo is my favorite detective, with Sherlock Holmes coming in a close second.

Rockford towers above everyone for me.
Harry O had a groovy vibe.

LOL, I think Arthur Dietrich may have helped to shape an entire generation.

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.

"Charlie's Angels" and "Columbo"
I adore Starsky and Hutch, but weren't they cops?
Also have always really like Jim Rockford.
