Where To Watch
Can you match the 1970s action shows to their characters?
Are you on a first-name basis with Charlie's Angels?
Mannix, Kojak, Baretta, Starsky, Ponch — many action heroes of 1970s television were known worldwide by one name alone. However, those were not their first names.
But if you grew up watching these shows (or if you fell in love with the reruns) you probably know these characters on a first-name basis. So, let's put that to the test.
Below, you will find groups of characters. They were P.I.s, cops, rescuers, crime-fighters, superheroes and crusaders. Put your detective skills to work and match the characters to the TV show. Think before you click!

I got them all right! I must admit I guessed on a few of them. Although I was familiar with the first names of the characters from "Kojak," because I watched that show on a regular basis.
