Hardcastle and McCormick

The was one of the 1980s gimmicky (there was a fancy car here; the judge had a pick-up truck of sorts) shows produced by Stephen J. Cannell. It is the "Decades binge" show for this weekend, where the channel continuously plays a certain show on the weekend.

The idea is someone to get off from a criminal rap agrees to help a retired judge deal with a bunch of his old cases, released on technicalities (boo!) though many of the episodes did not address that. I remember watching the show when I was a teenager, though the few episodes I looked at (largely as a Mets game played) did not look familiar. Nice to know the younger guy is still getting work. He also has a lot of theater experience.

Chuck Norris' Texas Ranger show was playing as well. That is an amusing looking show, including all the big hats. He had an amusing line about "this isn't the courtroom, it's the parking lot, it's different here." Conan O'Brien had a bit where he spun a wheel and some random line from the entertainingly cheesy show (in small doses at least) played.
