Hardcastle and McCormick (1983)

Hardcastle and McCormick, an action-drama created by Stephen J. Cannell Productions, aired on ABC from 1983 to 1986. The show features Brian Keith as Judge Milton C. Hardcastle, who teams up with ex-convict and race car driver Mark "Skid" McCormick, portrayed by Daniel Hugh Kelly. Together, they tackle crime and seek justice, blending thrilling car chases with witty banter. Although the concept bears similarities to Cannell’s earlier work, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe, it carves out its own niche with engaging characters and compelling storylines.
