I loved this series , it should have run for longer .
And it was great to see it made in San Franciso, rather tha New York or Los Angeles . Just gave it a different feel .
Loved Jack Warden in it, what a character , and the family dynamics were great, not overly done , good to see the cute grandson getting in on the action !
Good humoured and entertaining , well worth a watch if you like 80's TV shows .

CRAZY LIKE A FOX 3 STARS
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.

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 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.
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.
