This show was on NBC friday nights along with the another new show "the
Master" staring
Lee VanCleef and "a" VanPatten, and "The New Show" from SNL producer
Lorne
Michaels.
The series starred Bruce greenwood, and J.T. Terlesky (now going by John
Terlesky).
They were a couple of college guys getting some extra cash by doing the
dirty work,
the running around (I.E. "Legmen"), for a private investigator, and
getting
into trouble
and adventures along the way. Overall a fun little show, but it didn't
do
well enough in the
ratings to last very long (maybe a half-dozen aired episodes).
The same can be said for it's partners in that NBC friday night slate,
none
of which lasted
very long. I don't think this show has seen the light of day since it's
cancellation, unlike
"The Master" which gained infamy as the target of jokes on a segment of
"Mystery Science Theater"
when it was cut into a feature length object of ridicule.
It was probably a good thing for Greenwood this series didn't fly, since
he
would later show up in
more serious roles such as a series regular on St. Elsewhere, and has
recently been featured
in a few high profile motion pictures, such a s "Double jeapordy", and
"Thirteen Days"
