"The Hardy Boys"
1977-1979
|
|
.
This
series [the most well known of all] starred Shaun Cassidy and Parker Stevenson,
and was shown on ABC from January 1977 to to January 1979. It alternated
with Nancy Drew once a week in the first season. By 1978 the Nancy Drew
series was failing. In a last ditch attempt to save the series, ABC combined
the Hardys and Nancy for a few episodes. This didn't work and Ms. Drew
was canceled in the fall of '78. The Hardys followed this fate early in
1979.
In
the first season (only!), Callie role-played as Fenton's secretary. Chet
showed up for one episode and Mrs. Hardy, Iola, Tony, etc., didn't show
up at all. Mid-series 1978 brought in two new characters, federal agent
Harry Gibbon and CIA operative Harry Hammond. Frank and Joe worked for
these men as part of the Justice Department. Oh well, there went all the
reality.
