"Fondly remembered by no one, Hardcastle and McCormick lasted three seasons." Untrue! The theme song is one of our favorites to butcher when driving and cars come up in conversation. "Drive!

Drivin' like the demon that drives your dreams."

The show itself had a silly premise and was mostly unremarkable otherwise.

You should also cover the following 84-85 season, where Who’s The Boss?, Moonlighting, and Mr. Belvedere were the only new shows that survived. Not only that, Family Feud with Richard Dawson also ended its daytime and syndicated run in ‘85.

ABC’s slogan was “We’re With You”, but the audience clearly wasn’t with them.
