What happens

Still Crazy Like a Fox (also known as Crazy Like a Fox: The Movie) is a 1987 American made-for-television thriller drama film based on the 1984–1986 television series Crazy Like a Fox, which reunited Jack Warden and John Rubinstein as a father and son team of private detectives. It was directed by Paul Krasny and is most noted for the appearance of Monty Python's Graham Chapman in a rare straight role as a Detective Inspector. The film originally aired on CBS on April 5, 1987. After the cancellation of the original series, it enjoyed a second life in syndicated reruns and the film was greenlit by CBS in an attempt to gauge potential audience interest in reviving the series. While the film pulled fairly solid numbers, it was ultimately decided that the ratings were not high enough to move forward with a new series, and plans to do so were scrapped. However, the film was later split into two parts and added to the Crazy Like a Fox syndication package. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
