1984 NBC. "The Return of Apple Dan Bonny." By my good luck this random episode pick has Bernie Kopell as con artist Apple Dan Bonny. Bruce Greenwood and John Terlesky are young legmen working for bail bondsman Don Calfa, who plays Oscar. Guest stars are Logan Clarke, Bruce M. Fischer, and Alexa Hamilton, but the IMDb cast list is incomplete. Creators were Richard Chapman, Bill Dial, and Andrew Mirisch. 

The guys are tasked to carry a briefcase full of money, but are given the ole switcheroo by Apple Dan. When opened the briefcase contains newspaper. There is a good car chase between the boys in a VW Rabbit and the bad guys in a Dodge Charger. Apple Dan is in a robbing Peter to pay Paul jam with all of his cons, and that gets his daughter in a jam (Alexa Hamilton), who is building what could be a very valuable prototype fuel efficient automobile. Eddie Barth and Hamilton Camp appear in this episode but are not listed.

I only include this one because it is sort of a detective show. The couple of episodes on Youtube are in parts and the quality is unwatchable. Very bad. The show is pretty good. I watched the pilot before. Eight episodes aired and I don't think this show has been seen much since.
