Trivia:
On 12 October 1984, between scenes on the set of "Cover Up" (1984), Jon-Erik Hexum jokingly placed a blank-loaded .44 Magnum prop gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The gun fired, and the wadding from the blank cartridge shattered his skull. Hexum was rushed to the hospital where he was declared brain-dead and on October 18 was taken off life support and his organs were harvested for transplant. more

My List Of The Greatest Canceled Shows Ever ..!!, 12 July 2007

Cover Up was one of the best. I've enjoyed so much. But i discovered later that nobody watched it except me !!

It was a good espionage plot with a lot of erotic elements. Simply you can get it easily from a small plot summary such as (a young photographer and her models in the spying business) or (a fashion house as a front for special intelligence). So you'd have good sexy girls with good action too, and no wonder.. It was the Charlie's Angels-era, it came out after 8 years of the beginning of it and OH BOY the 1980s were the golden years for the female beauty on T.V where every thing at its top : the fashion, the hair cuts, the nice bodies.. WAW it was my golden years too !

Here you'll have it all, and I promise you every thing is sexy and real real hot. I think this show and its Likes of the same era puts the ideal definition for the most exquisite female seduction you'd ever have from a TV-series, starting from all the pretty girls in here (Jennifer O'Neill is out of them of course) to the bright colorful cinematography.

Yes, the sudden death of Jon-Erik Hexum was disappointing and an early reason to end the show but for me Antony Hamilton was that good too. Unfortunately THEY finally canceled it after only 20 episodes, and it's my eternal permanent question : why on earth do they cancel it ?!.. and my fuss gets larger and larger when you find another shows (real very stupid ones) which last that long like La Femme Nikita (5 Seasons), or Nash Bridges (6 Seasons)..etc, while there were a lot of nice shows that got canceled for no convincing reason, therefore i'll give you my list of them as honoring and as an epitaph too ! :

1 - Secret Agent Man (2000) 12 Episodes

2 - Cover Up (1984) 20 Episodes

3 - Vengeance Unlimited (1998) 16 Episodes

4 - Over My Dead Body (1990) 12 Episodes

5 - The Lone Gunmen (2001) 13 Episodes

6 - The Hat Squad (1992) 12 Episodes

7 - A Man Called Hawk (1989) 13 Episodes

A due tribute to them all and to the die hard fans of them too. Oh how I miss the rare good time which I've had and could have with any one of the previous late shows.. If only they last a bit more.
