Description
Meet TVs most unusual crime fighters Hardcastle, a tough-minded judge who fights the underworld outside the law when necessary and McCormick a car stealing ex-con whos as dangerous as the criminals hes sworn to hunt down!
Hardcastle and McCormick is classic macho, shoot-em-up action style TV. Although it was one of the wildest shows of the 80s, giving its audience plenty of car chases, explosions and stunts, it was one of the few shows that was able to equally blend action, drama, and humour into every episode. Its from an era when fast-paced adventure shows like "The Dukes of Hazard", Magnum PI and "Knight Rider", which, like H&M, featured good looking men with fast cars, were all the rage.
The ABC series stars actors Brian Keith (from TVs Family Affair) as Judge Milton Hardcastle and Daniel Hugh-Kelly as Mark McCormick. However, the real star of H&M was the flamboyant red racecar, named The Coyote, which the pair used to nab crooks while enduring crazy car chases and death defying stunts.
