A great show that never really got a chance!

I remember watching this as a kid! My dad loved this show and my mom tapped every episode. We still have all of them on VHS (except one that an old VCR broke).

I really wish this would have stayed on the air longer....better chance of seeing it in reruns or even a DVD release if it had produced more episodes. Unfortunately CBS (I think they ran on CBS) had Crazy Like a Fox in a horrible time slot which lowered their ratings during the 2nd season.

The late, great Jack Warden was awesome as Harry Fox. I will always think of this show when I hear his name. Great support cast too! They had quite a few big name people guest star on this show as well.

Man, they just don't make em like this anymore....
