Remington Steele
Before He Was Bond He Was...
Created by Robert Butler, Michael Gleason
On NBC
A witty, romantic detective comedy built on the chemistry between a capable woman and a charming con man, where the pleasure is in their sparring and the cases are secondary to their relationship.
Laura Holt, a licensed private detective, opens a detective agency but finds that potential clients refuse to hire a woman, however qualified. To solve the problem, Laura invents a fictitious male superior whom she names Remington Steele. Through a series of events that unfold in the first episode, "License to Steele," a former thief and con man, whose real name is never revealed, assumes the identity of Remington Steele. Behind the scenes, Laura remains firmly in charge.
