14. The Devlin Connection
Rock Hudson, who was known for playing major male parts in the 50s and 60s, appeared in this television series from 1982 as a former intelligence officer in the military who had transitioned into the post of head of a performing arts center. He and his kid work together to solve mysteries each week. Despite the fact that the plots experienced a stylistic shift, the show was only shown for a total of 12 episodes.
Although its filming started in 1981, the show was ultimately forced to be postponed for an additional year owing to the cardiac difficulties that Rock Hudson was facing. As soon as production resumed, it was decided to make a number of significant alterations to the program. One of these alterations was giving the episodes a more upmarket vibe, in contrast to the dull episodes early on.
13. Hardball
NBC’s “buddy cop” television series from 1989 was viewed as the network’s attempt to replicate the popularity of the Lethal Weapon franchise. The sitcom about a seasoned officer who teams up with a young hotshot failed not be renewed for a second season despite the fact that it produced a fair amount of episodes (18 total).
Both John Ashton and Richard Tyson were veterans of the action-adventure genre of acting, thus the two of them were perfect choices to star in the program. While Ashton is most known for his parts in Beverly Hills Cop and its sequel, Tyson was more well-known at the time for movies such as Two Moon Junction and Kindergarten Cop. Ashton’s most well-known film is Beverly Hills Cop.
