This crime drama/comedy was created by John Baskin, Roger Shulman, George Schenck, and Frank Cardea and was co-produced by Columbia Television. It starred Jack Warden as Harry Fox, a free-spirited private detective, and John Rubinstein as his high-strung attorney son, Harrison, who often gets unwillingly involved in his father’s cases. The show's opening would feature Harry and Harrison in a phone conversation, with Harry asking for his son’s help despite Harrison being a lawyer and not a detective. Penny Peyser played Harrison's wife, and Della Reese had a recurring role as a nurse who often assisted Harry.
Airing on Sundays opposite Sunday night movies, the show was initially a hit, but ratings suffered when it got moved around, being cancelled after a season and a half. A year after it went off the air, a reunion TV movie called Still Crazy Like a Fox brought back the characters. The show's theme music was composed by Mark Snow, most famously known for The X-Files. The series has recently been aired on nostalgia network Me-TV.
