Why I Like Mannix
- Mannix is an expert photographer.
- Mannix is a great swimmer.
- All kinds of people lie to Mannix, but he always figures out
who's lying and who's telling the truth. And instead of doing
some weak-ass Columbo noise like for instance playing along with the person like
he believes them, he just comes right out and says "I think you're
lying".
- Mannix doesn't hesitate to use his fists when he has to, to get
the job done.
- Mannix is skilled with all weapons.

-
Mannix is great at getting hot chicks to twirl around in their skirts
and show him their panties.

including a cool green Barracuda convertible and a two-tone Charger.
He also knows how to drive a race car.
- Mannix is mechanically minded - he can fix his own cars when necessary.

is all!
- Mannix is not a racist - he is from the streets.

- Mannix has a secretary Peggy, who is always finding out important stuff.
- Mannix has a great theme song.
- Mannix always has a different Botany 500 sports jacket.

bad guys talk.
- Even a computer knows to choose Mannix (first season).
- Mannix is a really nice guy (but don't let that fool you).
Note: Louise P adds one more reason (from the female perspective):
- "He's drop-dead gorgeous!"
