From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

I couldn't agree with you more Observer 2. There was no
television in our home and we had to go watch TV in the
window of our neighbor. I must have been about 4 or 5 years
old and all I could remember was that theme music the
dum-dum-de-dum-dum part. And the lyrics were so vague in
my memory until a couple years ago I download the theme song
and wow!!! It all came back to me. I remember Harry Rule
and the pretty contessa with her long hair and the fast cars
and guns and hair raising adventure! I am desperately searching
somewhere where I can see an episode! Great show! Does anyone
know where I can watch online? I would greatly appreciate a
link! Thanks. - uriahms
