What happens
Riptide is an American detective television series that ran on NBC between January 3, 1984 and April 22, 1986, starring Perry King, Joe Penny, and Thom Bray. A midseason replacement, it debuted as a two-hour TV movie in early 1984. By September 1985, domestic distribution rights to the series were sold to Columbia Pictures Television. Its successor, Sony Pictures Television, still holds these rights to this day. After its cancellation, CPT put the series in syndication on the USA Network in the late 1980s. The series previously appeared on MeTV+, a sister network of MeTV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
