The Resume

    (November 24, 1981-January 21, 1989)
    CBS
    Jameson Parker as Andrew Jackson Simon
    Gerald McRaney as Rick Simon
    Mary Carver as Cecilia Simon

    Joan McMurtrey as Lt. Abigail Marsh Two polar-opposite brothers operate a private detective service out of San Diego

Why Simon & Simon might be annoying:

    The original working title was ‘Pirate’s Key,’ set in Florida.
    The brothers were polar opposites in almost everything — education, viewpoints, finances, fashion sense, you name it.
    While his character was a veteran of the Vietnam war, McRaney himself never served.
    Released in October 2006, bad sales of the first-season DVD (13 episodes) led Universal Studios Home Entertainment to shelve any idea of releasing the remaining seasons.

Why Simon & Simon might not be annoying:

    It was on the brink of cancellation in its first season. Then it was moved to succeed Magnum P.I. on Thursdays.
    While married to McRaney, Delta Burke made a guest appearance.
    The brothers remained close to their mother.
    Despite his more formal background, A.J. could be just as much of a scrapper as Rick was.
    It led to a reunion movie (In Trouble Again, 1995), where A.J. had since married.
    It lasted seven seasons with only two prime-time Emmy nominations and four Edgar Allan Poe nominations.
    Parker would go on to guest on ‘Major Dad’ and ‘Promised Land,’ both of which starred McRaney.
