Download Banacek Car
Banacek came along just a bit before my time. When it began airing again on cable recently, the name rang a bell, but that's all. I'm pretty sure I didn't watch it back in the day—at about age 11—but I suspect that my parents might have. I don't care much for cop shows and I'd always assumed Banacek was just that—another cop show. But as I skimmed those little one or two sentence show descriptions that are part and parcel of digital cable these days it occurred to me that there might be something more to it. Turns out that Thomas Banacek is not a cop at all, but an insurance investigator.

Turns out that Banacek is a somewhat dashing and debonair insurance investigator who's called in to help when various high-ticket items (and occasionally people) go missing in a way that seems to defy logic or explanation. As an on-again, off-again mystery fan, this is a premise that caught my attention, especially since it varies just a bit from the typical “impossible” crime, which mostly seem to be locked-room murders of various level of complexity (and absurdity).
In its original incarnation, Banacek aired 17 episodes from 1972-1974 and was part of the rotating cast of 90-minute TV movies that aired as the NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie. Several of the other shows in this rotation have passed into complete obscurity ( Cool Million, Faraday & Company, Tenafly), while a few are perhaps just a little bit less obscure ( Madigan, The Snoop Sisters). The role of Banacek was filled by George Peppard, who had some moderate successes in film up to that point but is arguably best known today for commanding Mr. T and the rest of The A-Team a decade or so later. Thomas Banacek is known to most merely as Banacek. His name is often mispronounced (Bananacek and so on).
He is Polish. I mention this because it is mentioned in the show often, not the least in the mystifying Polish proverbs that our hero likes to dole out. Banacek does what he does quite well, charging at least ten percent of the value of whatever high-ticket item has been misplaced, and he lives quite well as a result.
