Actually, it's not too "New York," it's too Chicago. In any
case, it's neither Wyoming nor Boston. Visually, at least,
Urich was a better Spenser for me.

A little too polished for me, but given the fact that Spenser
is Parker's version of Marlowe ("I ask 'What would Marlowe
do?' then have Spenser do that."), and given further that
Cary Grant was Chandler's choice
(again, at least visually) for Marlowe, Baldwin seems like a
reasonable choice.
