What happens

Foul Play is an American drama series that aired from January 26 until August 23, 1981, on ABC. The series was based on the 1978 film of the same name, and retained many of the same characterizations, as well as the San Francisco setting of the film. The lead roles played by Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in the film were taken over by Deborah Raffin and Barry Bostwick, respectively, in the series. The series was produced by Thomas L. Miller (who co-produced the film), Robert L. Boyett and Hal Sitowitz, under Paramount Television. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
