Jake and The Fatman was Joe's second TV series. The show was a crime drama series about a serious district Attorney & his special investigator who didn't take life quite so seriously. Their personalities may have clashed, but they always managed to work together to get the job done.
The first season was filmed in Los Angeles, CA. In the second season, Jake And The Fatman moved to Hawaii & then halfway through the fourth season, it returned to LA.
There were 104 episodes made over 5 seasons, the first episode aired in the USA on September 26, 1987.
The two main stars were William Conrad (Jason Lochinvar 'Fatman' McCabe) & Joe Penny (Jake Styles). Also appearing in many episodes was Alan Campbell (Derek Mitchell). And who could forget Max the dog.
The Pilot Episode was aired as The Don Parts 1 & 2 of ‘Matlock' TV Show on October 28 & November 4, 1986. Later 'Diagnosis Murder' TV Show was a spin off from the show with Season 4 Episode 19 titled 'It Never Entered My Mind" which aired on March 20, 1991, being the Pilot Episode for Diagnosis Murder. I guess it is ironic that years later, in fact in 1998, Joe Penny should appear in an episode of Diagnosis Murder (The Last Resort)
