McCoy (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McCoy was the title of a American action-adventure television series that aired on NBC during the 1975-1976 season.
The series starred Tony Curtis as a con man who "out-cons" bad guys in order to steal back their ill-gotten gains and return the loot to its rightful owners. As such, the series bears resemblances to the then-recent film The Sting, as well as to the contemporary series Switch and the British literary character Simon Templar. Co-starring with Curtis was Roscoe Lee Browne.
The series was produced in the format of two-hour telefilms, that were broadcast as part of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie as one of several rotating series that would air once a month. Other series involved in the scheme were Columbo, McCloud, and McMillan and Wife. However, McCoy failed to garner the same ratings as its fellow programs and was cancelled after four episodes were broadcast. At least one novel based upon the series was published in the United Kingdom.
