Warning: Spoilers
The pre-credits sequence of Crazy Like a Fox lets even new viewers instantly know what the premise of the series is. No matter how much Harrison tries to mind his own business, good old pops will always pull him into his P. I. cases. That always means one thing: trouble - and lots of it -for Harrison.

This time, Harrison is looking forward to a boring week-long lawyer conference in Los Angeles. A day or so before his departure, an old P. I. friend of Harry's is murdered and Harry naturally decides to investigate. But this friend just happens to have lived and worked in LA, which of course means...

Great episode in which, as said, Harry finds a way to rope his son into the case he's working on and causes him numerous near-heart attacks. This case is a particularly clever one. It's logical and well-layered.

And, of course, Tracey Scoggins always adds a whole lot of sexiness to anything she's in. It would take a woman like Joy to tempt a man to cheat on the beautiful Cindy, which is the basis of some comical misunderstandings. Comical for us viewers, that is, not for poor Harrison. If this were real life, it would take him half an eternity to convince Cindy that his time in LA wasn't filled with Joy.

Fox in Wonderland
Prismark1028 August 2021
Harry Fox gets an early surprise birthday party. One of his friend's a private detective called Herb Spencer cannot make it to the party.

Herb was visiting San Francisco and was killed by his business partner.

Harry goes to LA where Herb was based at to investigate. Coincidentally Harrison is in LA for a legal conference.

Herb was investigating the whereabouts of some stolen money that was hidden by the robber. It would involve a lucrative finders fee.

It turns out there are people who want the whole hidden loot.

Although the series was based in San Francisco, the studio shooting would had been done in LA. So they really did not go far to shoot this episode.

Even though the baddie is known from the beginning, it still has a few twists.

The delightfully named Tracy Scoggins makes an appearance as Herb's secretary who always seems to get Harrison in an awkward situation.
