Trivia

The opening song as the show begins, is a more up-tempo version of "Now" written by Roger Nichols (year unknown). Karen Carpenter sang it on The Carpenters "Voice Of The Heart" album released in 1983 after Karen's untimely death. This was her very last song ever recorded by the late Karen. Clips of this up-tempo version can be heard throughout the pilot episode.

User Reviews

There will be no other show like....

Hart to Hart!

When I first saw this show I was about 12 years old. I enjoyed watching it every week at 10pm. Jennifer and Jonathan always had a lot of respect for each other and I loved that. My all time favorite episode is when Jennifer and Jonathan went to London and we were shown how they met each other.

Years later I met RJ and Stefanie and boy was I surprised how nice they were in person and also how beautiful they both were.
