HAR TO HAR

1979-1984 ABC

HAR TO HAR

TV detective series modeled after Thin Man movies but in an 80s Los Angeles setting. Jonathan Hart (Robert Wagner) is a corporate millionaire and his wife Jennifer (Stefanie Powers) come across mysteries as they trot across the globe. The show is narrated by their chauffeur Max (Lionel Stander).
Switch was Robert Wagner's previous detective series. O. J. Simpson, back when he was benign, did commercials for Hertz at an airport.
Freeway was their dog that helped them on mysteries, similar to the Charles' Asta.
J. R. was the breakout character on Dallas, a show at the same time that jumped in the ratings when he was shot on the show.
