To my surprise, I remember Tenspeed and Brownshoe. It was a mixed-race buddy comedy/drama about two private detectives, played by Ben Vereen, who was called “Tenspeed” because he was “so shifty,” and Jeff Goldblum, who was called “Brown shoe” because he was such a stereotypical square, that completely failed to be “I Spy.” Imagine that. A show starring Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum, scripted by Stephen J. Cannell and with music by Mike Post, that flopped so badly it’s barely remembered now.
Now I do remember that television show and I kinda liked it. It was interesting. It was kind of groundbreaking away also. Back in the early 1970s there was a show on NBC that ran about one season I think it was on the mystery movie series that had Columbo and some others. It was called Tenafly and star James McEachin. He was a black actor who has done a lot of good shows and it was a great little show. He was a private detective at work for a big company, and I thought it was very well done I’d like to see it again but it’s hard to find it. It’s not even on YouTube.
