Hart to Hart
I used to love watching it years ago and it is currently being shown again in the mornings on TV. It always made me laugh that wherever they went, there was a murder, plus they always had all the right gear for every occasion. They were loaded of course. They were looked after by their trusty man servant, Max who in turn looked after their little dog, Freeway (found on the freeway).Cheesy stuff but it was always a good excuse to watch the lovely Stefanie Powers, who always looked perfect, whether she was playing tennis, having dinner or emerging from the sea.

Re: Hart to Hart
Ooh I loved Hart to Hart and used to watch it from childhood right through to A levels. I think we used to watch it as a family.I recently went through a phase of watching it on (I think) sony channel during lockdown. They showed pretty much every single episode. It was the only thing bearable in between all those daily briefings. It's funny watching it as an adult and seeing it in a different way. But it was very well written to be equally appealing to all audiences.
The thing about Jennifer Hart is that women like her just as much as men (for different reasons!). She is like someone you would love to have as your best friend or big sister. Jonathan seemed so handsome, the perfect husband. They also had the perfect lifestyle. Great escapism.
The only episode that's truly dire is the one set in London when they first meet. American TV producers have never understood how their stereotypical portrayal of Brits is so annoying to Brits.

It would be quite a good episode but the British stereotypes spoil it.
