Harry O
Harry O was an American crime drama television series that aired for two seasons on ABC from 1974 to 1976. 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.
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.Notes
