Longstreet was a television series starring James Franciscus as insurance investigator Mike Longstreet. After a bomb (hidden in a champagne bottle) kills his wife, Ingrid, and leaves him blind, the title character pursues and captures the killers. He then continues his career as an insurance investigator despite his blindness. Longstreet's seeing eye dog was a white German Shepherd called Pax.

The series was set in New Orleans, but was actually filmed in Los Angeles.

Bruce Lee appeared in four episodes as Li Tsung, an antique dealer and Jeet Kune Do expert who becomes Longstreet's martial arts instructor. Wikiquote has quotations from Li Tsung's teachings.

Twenty-three episodes of the show were broadcast on the ABC in the 1971-1972 season (see 1971 in television). A 90-minute pilot movie preceded the series -- see Longstreet.

The series has rarely been re-aired, but appeared on Canada's Mystery in 2005-2006. The series was released on commercial DVD in Japan (region 2) in late 2007, but has not yet been commercially released on DVD in the U.S.
