It's no secret - my favorite programs are ones in which couples solve crimes. From MOONLIGHTING to HART TO HART to SCARECROW AND MRS KING to REMINGTON STEEL to BONES (all with a debt to THE THIN MAN series of course), I'm in heaven.
Here's a little program I had never forgotten, but had somehow forgotten to look up on the youtube - the internally plural friendly Partners In Crime. This show only ran for half a season in the fall of 1984, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
So Loni Anderson and Lynda Carter aren't quite a couple, but we can squeeze them into this genre easier than Crazy Like A Fox. Their characters share an ex-husband, and when he dies and wills them his detective agency, hijinks ensue! This is probably the best San Francisco detective story since The Maltese Falcon.
Here's opening credits & a few minutes of the pilot.
"If we get in trouble, we'll just call the police a lot!"
