Here's a detective drama with a bit of a twist.
Finder of Lost Loves lasted just 1 season on ABC (1984-5), and starred Tony Franciosa (ex-The Name of the Game) as a newly widowed sleuth who specializes in bringing couples back together. Something tells me that this concept might've been just a wee bit ahead of its time.
Dionne Warwick (ex-Solid Gold) and Glenn Jones recorded the Burt Bacharach-Carole Bayer Sager-authored theme song. After Finder bit the dust, Warwick was asked by executive producer Aaron Spelling to record a new version of the Love Boat theme, replacing Jack Jones' version for the final season of that series.
Today, a show about a detective bringing couples together would not be a work of fiction, but rather another cookie-cutter reality show. Think about that while you scope the intro:
Finder would be Tony Franciosa's final series, and the fourth one (Valentine's Day, Search, Matt Helm) to go just one season.
No rating. Never saw the show.
