How it feels

The series follows two sets of amateur sleuths. Frank and Joe Hardy are teenage brothers who solve mysteries. Nancy Drew is a teenage girl who cracks her own cases. The episodes alternate between the two groups and sometimes have them team up.

What happens

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (re-titled The Hardy Boys for season three) is an American television mystery series based on the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew juvenile novels. The series, which ran from January 30, 1977, to January 14, 1979, was produced by Glen A. Larson from Universal Television for ABC. Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy starred as amateur detective brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, respectively, while Pamela Sue Martin (later portrayed by Janet Louise Johnson) starred as amateur sleuth Nancy Drew. After the final first-run telecast, the series went into reruns on Sundays, January 21 and again from June 24 to August 26, 1979. The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries was unusual in that it often dealt with the characters individually; the series alternated between episodes that featured the Hardys and episodes featuring Drew in its first season. As the series progressed, the two storylines crossed over, and the Nancy Drew character was drastically reduced, and then dropped, in favor of the Hardys. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
