LIKE THE above, ubiquitous for a while over there, rarely glimpsed if at all over here. Eponymous siblings A.J. and Rick live in San Diego running a private detective agency. Embodiment of chalk and cheese: A.J. (JAMESON PARKER) very refined, into classical music and polo shirts, while Rick (GERALD MCRANEY) is the Rough Diamond, driving shitty pick-up trucks with his dog Marlowe. Served in Vietnam (naturally) before settling down to open PI business. Their mum was always coming around to see how they were doing.

Amusing entry here.
In Australia, American shows were on “telly every night” too. There was a period when American detective shows were very popular.

Until multi channel TV arrived in the 1990s it was common for every channel to have at least 1 American show a night.
But as Sky & the like started to buy the rights to many series, & the BBC had one of those periods it to improve it’s home grown output, more of them tended to be pushed into off-peak slots before BBC1 & ITV more or less stopped showing them.
According to my Dad in the 1950s & 60 it was “Westerns Every Night”
