Typical Spelling schtick, helped by a solid lead actor. Lee Horsely was in his twenties during the series production, played older, and was usually a bit above the predictable plot lines. Better in later episodes.

Show started really cartoony. Ridiculously handsome zillionaire Texas oil family heir living in Southern California sidelines as a private eye, eventually taking the p.i. Gig full time.

The usual Aaron Spelling drivel is all there, copious wealth, a really silly hero car, HUGE hair, screechy Dominic Frontiere music, canned sound effects, new Fords everywhere, women as victims, and laughably obvious plots.

I think this may be the best of Spellings mountain of dreck, carried mostly by the likable Horsely. Not 'good, but more bearable than Aarons usual tripe.
