Jake and the Fatman (1987–1992)
2/10
Forgettable
6 August 2023
Jake and the Fatman During the 80s there were tons of lighthearted "comedy crime" series, such as murder she wrote, Matlock etc.

Jake and the Fatman is another one of these shows.

Conrad and penny are both great actors and their acting ability and charm make This dull series a bit more enjoyable

The problem with this series is its far too genteel predictable and safe, I would have loved the series to be more gritty

You can tell Joe penny is a real life tough guy,they should have highlighted this, instead he plays the role of loverboy

The comedy segments are cheesy and seem forced, and usually revolve around Conrad getting angry or making a mistake

I really wanted to enjoy this series but I gave up after watching 4 episodes.

I recommend viewers to watch kojak or Rockford files instead, who loves you baby?
