Crazy Like a Fox was one of the last great shows of the 1980's. It starred Jack Warden as "Harry Fox" and John Rubinstein as his son "Harrison Fox". The takes place in San Francisco and there are a lot of scenes that take place outside to show off the beautiful location. Harry plays a detective who always gets into trouble. He ends up always getting his son Harrison, who is a lawyer, into helping him on his cases. He ends up getting shot at and running for his life from criminals and cars chasing him. Jack Warden and John Rubinstein have that chemistry together that makes the show work. Penny Peyser plays Harrison's wife and Robbie Kiger plays their son. This show blends action and comedy together beautifully. The show ranked #10 among all other networks show in the 1984-85 season. Then the network moved the show up against Dynasty, the number 1 show at the time and the ratings dropped and they were cancelled after their second season. It's a shame, the could have gone another 2 or 3 years.
