Jackson Beaudine (Victor Garber) was a three-time divorced private investigator who owned Jackson Beaudine Investigations at 1163 Vandover Street in Los Angeles.
Somehow, Jackson and his three ex-wives all got along, and occasionally Jackson turned to one or all of them for help with one of his cases, or they called on him to help them.
Mary (Maggie Cooper), his first wife (and the only one who had remarried), was a lawyer and had custody of their 10-year-old son, Andrew (David Faustino). Her legal advice always proved helpful.
Wife #2, Samantha (Teri Copley), was an aspiring actress (whose claim to fame was appearing in the horror film Hatchet Honeymoon), master of disguise and a martial arts expert.
Third wife Liz (Shanna Reed) was a reporter for the Los Angeles Chronicle with keen analytical skills and a host of useful contacts which always came in handy.
When Jackson was investigating cases and trying to help people in trouble, he had a knack for asking the wrong questions of the wrong people and constantly putting his life in jeopardy.
Six episodes were produced, but only five episodes were aired during the summer of 1985 (the pilot episode – directed by Bill Bixby – was never aired). Bill Conti composed the theme tune.
