23 Original One-Hour Episodes from 1983-1984. Explosions, bar fights, stakeouts, bikini-clad blondes, car chases and more explosions: Simon & Simon was primetime '80s action at it's best. Airing from 1981 to 1989, Gerald McRaney (Jericho) and Jameson Parker (JAG) were primetime private eyes Rick and A.J. Simon. Season 3 finds Rick and A.J. in trouble again in beautiful San Diego, CA. Despite near pristine weather San Diego suffers from missing radio personalities, crooked magicians, gamblers, horse smugglers, and murderers. Bringing them down with a brotherly one-two punch, it wasn't always pretty and for sure, not always friendly. Season 3 would introduce Tim Reid as Detective Marcel "Downtown" Brown and feature guest stars James Avery, Michael Constantine, Mario Lopez, John Reilly and more.
