I loved watching 'The Saint', my Dad did not

I'm 34, and watched Roger Moore as 'The Saint' shown on Cable TV by a Detroit station when I was in high school.  He was cool, sophisticated, worldly (it was set all over the globe), and the shows were just plain entertaining in that classic 60's way.  My father, who remembered 'The Saint' when it first aired in the early 60's, thought Roger Moore's Saint was a bit of a dandy and a 'fancy boy'. Why?  I asked other men in that age group,  here in The Great White North to comment,  and got the same answer. A fancy, smart-guy, etc...  The Saint was ahead of it's time, and the character was the first 'Metrosexual' in TV history, something that many macho head-game types of that era could not handle.  Is my theory right, do some research and comment!
