The Partners

The Partners

"The Partners" was a 1970s American television comedy series that was aired between September 1971 and March 1972 (and again briefly between July and August 1972) on the NBC television network. NBC had exceptionally high hopes for the series after it performed well with test audiences. However, it had failed to find a large enough audience because it had to compete with CBS's All In The Family, which was at that time the highest rated show on television. Originally CBS had scheduled "My Three Sons" against "The Partners," but moved "All In the Family" at the last minute.

The program featured Don Adams and Rupert Crosse as bumbling detectives (Adams' Lenny Crooke being the more inept of the two). Veteran actor John Doucette played the exasperated Captain Andrews, a character not unlike "the Chief" portrayed by Edward Platt in Adams' earlier "Get Smart." Dick Van Patten (who later gained fame as the father on "Eight Is Enough") played the syncophantic desk Segeant Higgenbottem. Adams' real-life cousin, Robert Karvelas (best known as Agent Larabee from Get Smart) had a recurring role as a character who compulsively confessed to crimes he did not commit.

The pilot featured guest appearances by Joey Foreman (Adams' Crooke mistakenly bursts into his apartment while Foreman is showering and orders him to "drop the soap"), Art Metrano and Yvonne Craig (best known as Batgirl from ABC's Batman).
