1985 CBS. "Fox Hunt." Jack Warden and John Rubinstein are father and son. Harry Fox Sr. is a freewheeling private detective and Harrison Fox Jr. is an uptight attorney. Together they solve mysteries. Penny Peyser is Harrison's wife, Cindy. Ralph Manza is a guest star in this ep. Episodes of Crazy Like a Fox come and go all the time on Youtube and I have watched several before. There are a few available now and I just picked one at random.

Harry is in the hospital after crashing his car during a car chase. Della Reese plays the tough attending nurse who won't let Harry smoke his cigar. Something happens to the man in the next bed in Harry's hospital room while he is in a drug haze but nobody believes him when he tells the story. The only clue is the intruder walked with a shambling gait and now it is up to the Fox boys to solve the case.

Crazy Like a Fox was a pretty popular hit when it aired on Sunday night with Murder, She Wrote but a change in the schedule for the second season doomed it. It is a solid detective show. Jack Warden and John Rubinstein are very good together. The promo below is for this episode.
