"Harry O" was an American crime drama television series that aired for two seasons on ABC from 1974 to 1976. [The series title is sometimes erroneously spelled with a hyphen ("Harry-O").] The series starred David Janssen as Harry Orwell, a San Diego cop forced into retirement when he is shot in the back. He sets up a private investigation practice in San Diego.

Cast and characters

Originally co-starring in the series was Henry Darrow as Lt. Manny Quinlan. After the first season, the location of the series shifted to Malibu due to the expense of filming in San Diego. Quinlan was killed off, and Anthony Zerbe became Orwell's foil/contact, Lt. K. C. Trench of the Santa Monica Police Department. Additional characters included Farrah Fawcett-Majors, who was seen in a handful of episodes as Harry's attractive next-door neighbor and sometime girlfriend; Paul Tulley as Sgt. Don Roberts, Lt. Trench's assistant; and Les Lannom as Lester Hodges, a bumbling private-eye wannabe. [Many websites follow the lead of Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh's "Complete Directory of American Prime Time Programs" in listing Keye Luke as a regular in this series. However, Luke was never a "Harry O" regular, appearing in exactly one episode of the show. Luke's lone "Harry O" appearance was designed as a "backdoor pilot" for a spinoff series featuring Lester Hodges that was never made, perhaps leading to the confusion.]

Production

The series followed the broadcast of two pilot films: "Such Dust as Dreams Are Made On" (1973) and "Smile Jenny, You're Dead" (1974), both starring Janssen.
