Homestretch now - just finished s6e1 “Paradise Cove” costarring the Polaroid commercial lady :D Any suggestions for generally good shows from the era that I should explore next? Doesnt have to be detectivey.

It's a little later (mid 80s), but I remember Spenser For Hire being slightly elevated against the riff-raff that was network tv at the time.
Looks like it's streamable, but not free. :(

Huh, looks like the only thing streaming is S1. That sucks. The dvd sets are out there, though.

Original Hawaii Five-O is amazing, especially the first six seasons.
Harry O starring David Janssen is v good - it had just two seasons. Farrah Fawcett-Majors had a supporting role in it for a while.
Not many people today talk about McMillan and Wife starring Rock Hudson & Susan Saint James, one of the mystery shows that rotated with Columbo in the '70s. It's like The Thin Man transposed to the swinging '70s. Often highly diverting, with cheekiness and charm taking precedence over believable plots.
A friend of mine swears by Vega$ starring Robert Urich. Tony Curtis is in it too.

Also - last year I finished watching all the episodes of Kojak. It's a cool show all the way through its run, though I would recommend starting with s1. Kojak was the best-dressed cop on American TV ever and I like how comfortably he mingles with the entire ethnic patchwork of NYC as it was then. Ethnicity is in fact the main theme of the show, I'd say.
