The Devlin Connection [TV Series] (1982)

Synopsis of The Devlin Connection [TV Series]

This NBC detective show premiered about five years after Rock Hudson's hit program McMillan and Wife took its final bows (and on the same network), but experienced a much shorter run. As Hudson's final series, it starred the legendary actor as Brian Devlin, an independently wealthy playboy resting on his laurels from a long career as a successful private investigator, and working full time in a low-key position as director of the Los Angeles Cultural Arts Center. At the outset of the series, a 28-year-old man turned up named Nick Corsello (Jack Scalia), who indicated that he was Brian's long-lost son, and had grown up in New York in the care of his mom. Nick worked as a private eye - a very tough, hard-boiled private eye - and began pulling Brian from the world of Cultural Arts back into the throes of intense and difficult cases. Brian attempted to assist without Nick's knowledge, but father and son inadvertently ended up solving the cases in tandem. Leigh-Taylor Young starred as Lauren, Brian's glamorous and sexy assistant at the Arts Center. Alas, audiences didn't particular care enough to tune in, and the last episode ran on Christmas Day, 1982 - just shy of three months after its premiere. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
