    Robin’s Hoods

    1 9 9 4 – 1 9 9 5 (USA)
    22 x 60 minute episodes

    A harbour-side country and western nightclub called ‘Robin’s Nest’ served as the nest for former Assistant DA Brett Robin (Linda Purl) and her brood of “hoods” – five attractive young parolees who had been paroled to her police detective husband, Jake Robin, in lieu of serving their time.

    The five parolees – rich girl Mac (Claire Yarlett) who had passed bad cheques; former burglar Annie (Jennifer Campbell); Eddie (David Gail), who had a short temper and had been convicted of aggravated assault; armed robber Maria (Mayte Vilán); and Stacey (Julie McCullough), who had been set up for drug trafficking when marijuana had been planted in her car – worked in the club and lived in the rooms above it.

    Brett had taken over management of the club (and responsibility for the parolees) when Jake was killed while on a case and her first impulse was to send the five back to the slammer.

    But after they helped her track down Jake’s killer and continued to help others in need, she grew fond of them.

    While working a stakeout, Eddie and Annie began an affair and Mac got involved with police detective Chris Carpenter (Ramy Zada). Stacey, who had always been sweet on him, started dating Eddie after he and Annie broke up, but that didn’t work out either.

    Maria had her parole commuted so she could go home to Miami and help her father recover from a heart attack and Tough KT Parker (Gretchen Palmer) took her place among the parolees.

    Soon after she took over the club Brett discovered she was pregnant with her late husband’s child and eventually gave birth to a son. While she was living with her in-laws after the birth of the baby, Nick Collins (Rick Springfield) was brought in to manage Robin’s Nest and protect the interests of the bank that carried her loan.

    Jake’s former partner, detective Stephen DeCosta (Michael Beck) appeared semi-regularly.

    It was no coincidence that this syndicated adventure series – filmed on location in Vancouver, British Columbia – was from producer Aaron Spelling, the man who gave the world Charlie’s Angels.
