Carole Stanwyck and Sydney Kovack
Created by James Stark and Leonard Stern

CAROLE STANWYCK and SYDNEY KOVACK are, according to Ric Meyers in The Armchair Detective (Vol. 19, #1) two "novice private eyes with lots to get off their chests and nothing on their minds. in Partners In Crime, a deservedly short-lived eighties TV series starring Loni "WKRP" Anderson and Lynda "Wonder Woman" Carter.

Carole is the brunette, a refined, former socialite who lost her fortune and is now making a living as a photographer and a courier. Sydney, meanwhile, is the supposedly "streetwise" blonde, the jazz-playing, pickpocket daughter of a con artist.

The premise is that Raymond Caufield, the private detective they were both married to (at different times) was murdered, and after the two mismatched bombshells successfully teamed up to catch the killer, they decided to keep right on sleuthing, running Caufield's San Francisco detective agency themselves.
