Overview

Drama

A.J. Simon is a polished fellow with a taste for classic cars and tailored suits. Rick Simon is his less refined (but still pleasant) older brother who has a taste for cowboy boots and four-wheel drive pickups. The two of them live in San Diego, where they own a private detective agency.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker reportedly ad-libbed so much brotherly bickering that writers started leaving gaps in the script.

Cultural

This was CBS's answer to Magnum P.I. — swapping Hawaii for San Diego and one detective for two squabbling siblings.
