Oh, by the way, Banacek was one of the detective stories that marked a big change in TV. It was after the assassinations, and the censors felt they had to make a deal. So, for very reduced violence, they kind of turned a blind eye to sexual content.
For the first time, you could actually imply, in a prime time series, the idea that single adults might be having sex with one another. Willingly. Having fun doing so. Without guilt afterwards.
As a guy who would not "get any" for another decade, that was astonishing and pleasing to me. It might not seem very revolutionary to people today, but it was like an atom bomb in the TV of the time.
