I loved Jack Warden in this series. Sometimes instead of dialog, he would make a sort of grunting sound that would convey doubt or skepticism. It said so much more than words could. I would love to see this again for Warden's character. It made the series interesting and worth watching. He was so much smarter than his educated son. Also I loved when he would do something crazy like stealing a truck saying "What could go wrong?" Something always went wrong. He was attractive to women too. I would have dated him. Did anyone else love this show like I did? My other favorite of his is the character Tiresias in the Woody Allen film, Mighty Aphrodite. It was great hearing him make his pronouncements in everyman mode.
I watched this n thought there was too much ham n overacting from both main characters.
It's decent enough to watch if there's nothing else to do but I wouldn't recommend it.

This show has a great cast and good storylines, but little plot in between, otherwise it is a nice happening, and the theme song is very good.

Loved the show and don't know why it didn't run longer. Wonderful guest stars and great writing. Jack Warden was a brilliant actor. I have binge-watched this at least twice, in addition to purchasing the "return" to CLAF. The mysteries always kept me at the edge of my seat, and I always tried to see if I could figure out "whodunnit." As a writer, I admire the twists to the plots, and the way that drama and comedy were intertwined. So sorry there aren't more than 2 seasons. I am a longtime resident of San Francisco and it was always fun to see if I could identify the neighborhoods where the actions were taking place.
This show was perfect for its time. It mixed some good action and mystery elements with a lot of great humor. Jack Warden plays an old detective type guy who is just really funny.
