Ich werde doch ab und an immer mal überrascht! So habe ich gerade erfahren, dass Tony Curtis die Hauptrolle in der kurzlebigen Krimiserie "McCoy" spielte. DieSerie wurde nach nur 5 Folgen jedoch wieder eingestellt.
Original run October 5, 1975 – January 25, 1976
Als Format wird es als Krimi und Komödie angegeben. McCoy sollte sowas wie "Simon Templar" sein:
The series stars Tony Curtis as a con man who, along with a team of friends, "out-cons" bad guys in order to steal back their ill-gotten gains and return the loot to its rightful owners. The schemes were elaborate and laced with satirical humor. The series bears resemblances to the then-recent film The Sting, as well as to the contemporary series Switch and the British literary character Simon Templar. Co-starring with Curtis was Roscoe Lee Browne as a nightclub comedian.Jede der 5 Folgen hat eine Spieldauer von ca. 90 Minuten und reiht sich somit Serien wie "McMillan & Wife", "Chicago Story" oder "Bronk" - oder anfangs ja auch "Quincy" ein und lief somit im Rahmen von
NBC Sunday Mystery MovieThe series was produced in the format of two-hour telefilms, that were broadcast as part of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie as one of several rotating series that would air once a month. Other series involved in the scheme were Columbo, McCloud, and McMillan & Wife. However, McCoy failed to garner the same ratings as its fellow programs and was cancelled after an initial 90-minute pilot TV movie ("The Big Ripoff") and four two-hour episodes were broadcast. At least one novel based upon the series was published in the United Kingdom.Tony Curtis spielte darin den Titel-Helden McCoy
