As an initial aside, its interesting that one commenter called this a Moonlighting clone. Remington Steele, of course, was around for THREE YEARS before Moonlighting came along. LOL Both series handed us major motion picture stars (Pierce Brosnan and Bruce Willis).
Remington Steele was a smart and funny romance disguised as a detective show. Although there was a mystery in each episode and it was resolved, the viewers were really tuning in to see the antithetical romance between "Remington Steele" and Laura Holt.
With the premise being that "Remington Steele" was a made up person to front for the female owned detective agency, and that Brosnan's character filled the vacuum almost as blackmail, the series had a unique and enterprising premise that you would expect to find in a motion picture rather than a TV series.
The moment in the pilot when Laura Holt realized what was being perpetrated on her was a priceless scene.
We were delighted when the full series, including the made for TV movies of the last year, were made available on DVD.
