The FBI, season 1 (1965). This enjoyable.Quinn Martin TV series is sometimes serious, sometimes dark, at other times light-hearted and even whimsical. The scripts are however clever and well-constructed.

Structurally it's very much a police procedural.

You just have to accept the idea of the FBI as the good guys. Which is admittedly a bit of a stretch.
