12 x 30 minute episodes
The escapades of Gower Rhodes (stand-up comedian Bill Maher) – a liberal former flower child from the Woodstock generation – and aggressively macho weapons-loving Nick Bronco (Tommy Hinkley), a mismatched pair of private eyes who wreak havoc in New York City’s worst neighbourhoods as they attempt to get their man.
The unlikely partners (they are both ex-cops who were thrown off the force) hang out at Maggie’s Restaurant, where the regulars include sarcastic, been-through-the-mill Maggie (Judith-Marie Bergan), Nick’s sweet but savvy niece, Terry (Babette Props) and a decidedly odd cook named Silky (James Vallely), once a sleazy criminal, now still sleazy but pushing fried cheese.
