Banacek (1972–1974)
3/10
Many or most solutions are totally implausible

Have only seen five repeats on MeTV, since originals from the 70's. So many of the plots use the same gimmicks, like it wasn't really there, etc. The 3 ton statue was really a balloon mold, and nobody notices that it would have swung around from the crane if it had no weight? The missing medical computer Max was just a false front, nobody noticed that during it's construction there were no deliveries of heavy boxes with actual equipment? The jewel encrusted carriage missing from the cargo container, all those people on the dock wouldn't see that the real container was still sitting there when they lifted the false outer shell up from the dock and onto the ship?! Just because the big truck blocked the view from the ship, those guys on the dock could see it, and when the truck left, there's that container there on the dock where there should be an empty spot. And they wouldn't have noticed the walls of the container were much thicker, in fact it was double walled.

The only semi decent one was the 10 kings coin heist, they drugged the owner and moved him to a fake copy of the hotel room, so he'd enter the combination to the safe into the fake copy safe.
