I watched this n thought there was too much ham n overacting from both main characters.
It's decent enough to watch if there's nothing else to do but I wouldn't recommend it.

CRAZY LIKE A FOX 3 STARS
This show has a great cast and good storylines, but little plot in between, otherwise it is a nice happening, and the theme song is very good.

I loved Jack Warden in this series. Sometimes instead of dialog, he would make a sort of grunting sound that would convey doubt or skepticism. It said so much more than words could. I would love to see this again for Warden's character. It made the series interesting and worth watching. He was so much smarter than his educated son. Also I loved when he would do something crazy like stealing a truck saying "What could go wrong?" Something always went wrong. He was attractive to women too. I would have dated him. Did anyone else love this show like I did? My other favorite of his is the character Tiresias in the Woody Allen film, Mighty Aphrodite. It was great hearing him make his pronouncements in everyman mode.
This show was perfect for its time. It mixed some good action and mystery elements with a lot of great humor. Jack Warden plays an old detective type guy who is just really funny.

Loved the show and don't know why it didn't run longer. Wonderful guest stars and great writing. Jack Warden was a brilliant actor. I have binge-watched this at least twice, in addition to purchasing the "return" to CLAF. The mysteries always kept me at the edge of my seat, and I always tried to see if I could figure out "whodunnit." As a writer, I admire the twists to the plots, and the way that drama and comedy were intertwined. So sorry there aren't more than 2 seasons. I am a longtime resident of San Francisco and it was always fun to see if I could identify the neighborhoods where the actions were taking place.
