Guy Hanks
Created by William Link

Did you miss this short-lived TV show? Everyone else did. Retired hot-shot New York criminalogist GUY HANKS (Bill Cosby!) isn't managing his retirement too well. He should be spending his time enjoying the good life with the two women in his life, his holistic housekeeper Angie and his physical therapist/main squeeze (Whitfield) but his old buddy/colleague Sully keeps luring him back to help out on particularly nasty cases.

Unfortunately, Cosby played himself. More than one television critic dubbed this Murder, He Wrote. I saw it and tend to think of it as more like Cliff Huxtable, Private Eye.
