Blue DeVille stars Jennifer Runyon as J.C. Swift, who never takes no for an answer. In search of her long-lost father, J.C. talks her yuppie chum Gus Valentine (Kimberly Pistone) into accompanying her on a Dos Passos-like journey across the continent. Their mode of transportation is a classic 1959 Cadillac DeVille, which they have finagled from a rich kid. En route, they pick up itinerant musician Ron Sandusky (Mark Thomas Miller), who has a hidden agenda of his own. Designed as the pilot for a weekly TV series, Blue de Ville premiered December 29, 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This TV pilot film stars Carl Weathers as Harry Braker, an ex-Marine who is his city's only African American police lieutenant. Tough but tender, Braker bends the rules to help the helpless. Braker's team of co-workers is the usual cop-show manifest: The gonzo (Randall "Tex" Cobb), the green newcomer (Joseph Bottoms) and the drop-dead gorgeous babe (Ann Schedeen). Their assignment this time out is to find the killer of a prominent producer and director, both of whom were engaged in the manufacture of porno films. Braker was telecast back to back on April 28, 1985 with another busted pilot, Brothers in Law. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The humdrum life of suburban divorcee and mother Amanda King (Kate Jackson) is radically and permanently altered when secret agent Lee "Scarecrow" Stetson (Bruce Boxleitner), fleeing from Russian spies, runs into Amanda at a train station, hands her a mysterious package, and disappears into the crowd. Thus begins Season One of the lighthearted adventure series Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Despite her complete lack of experience in the realm of espionage, Amanda proves so adept at her new "hobby" that she and Lee will be teamed up again and again and again--much to the confusion of Lee's superior at The Agency, Billy Melrose (Mel Stewart), and to the dismay of Lee's usual partner, sexy female spy Francine Desmond (Martha Smith). Meanwhile, Amanda has a high old time keeping her undercover activities a secret from her mischievous young sons Philip (Paul Stout) and Jamie (Greg Morton), and especially from her nosy mother Dottie (Beverly Garland), who though charmed and impressed by "Scarecrow" is completely at a loss to determine the exact nature of his relationship with her daughter! In subsequent adventures, Lee and Amanda pose as husband and wife, never dreaming that the pose will become reality by the time the series reaches its fourth season; Amanda goes through her paces with a prominent ankle bandage, reflecting a real-life injury suffered by Kate Jackson on the set; Martha Smith shows up in the dual role of Francine and defecting Hungarian official Magda, resulting in twice as much trouble for Amanda; and mom Dottie blithely tools around town carrying an unidentified package, never realizing that a pair of Eastern Bloc spies have targeted her for assassination! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
