Good series from the mid-late eighties, 16 February 2000
Author: Alex-372 from The Hague, The Netherlands

Wiseguy was my favorite series in '87/'88, with great story lines, a charming lead character, and an ever changing scenery.

It also introduced tv audiences to the acting abilities of Kevin Spacey, and me to the great looks of Joan Severance.
