Subject: Help Me Remember this TV Show and the Female Lead, Please!!!

Written By: RHerrmann on 10/20/04 at 3:53 pm



In the 1989-1990 timeframe, on CBS (I think) on late night TV after the nightly news, there was a group of programs where one certain show would air each night.  Each night was a different program (maybe 1-hour or 1-1/2 hours long) and the cycle would go again after a few days or maybe after a week. Anyways, one of the programs was a married couple who were private investigators.  The name of the show was something like "Two of Hearts" or "Two of ...something"  or "Queen of Hearts". 

Anyways I'm trying like the dickens to remember the name of the show.  I've Googled everything I could think of but have turned up empty.  What I really need is the female lead's name.

She never became famous for anything after that show as far as I remember.

She was a curly brunette and was attractive, but not super-model attractive.  She was also in a Grape Nuts commercial around the same time.

The male lead looked kind of like Peter Weller if I recall correctly.

I don't think Hart to Hart is the right show.  It was on the air from 1979-1984.  The show in question was on around 1989 or 1990.  Unless it was late night reruns.

Stephanie Powers was in a Nutrigrain commercial in early 90's.

Thanks for the replies everyone.  No - it's not Hart to Hart or Stephanie Powers I'm thinking of.  The lady I am remember looked kind of like Mitzi Kapture (http://mitzi.8k.com/) with hair style and color, and not so pettite.  She was in "Silk Stalkings" which I THINK was from the same era of the show that I am trying to recall.

Maybe Hunter or Remington Steele

Hunter had Stepfanie Kramer.

Remington Steele had Stephanie Zimbalist.

OK, I found the answer:

http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-8242/Diamonds/

Peggy Smithhart starred in this short-lived private investigator romance/comedy TV show "Diamonds" between 1987-1989.  In it she and her co-star are two actors who starred in their own TV show called "Two of Diamonds" (a 'show within a show').  That 2nd name was what stuck in my mind.

She also did a series of Post Grape-nuts commercials with an actor who played her husband.

Heres a photo of her:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=18836&item=4043317985&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
I wish the photo were better!  -- Anyone got any photos of her???

The show and Peggy are exactly who I was thinking of!

(thanks to wagonman76 for getting me the info that helped me find this)

I see by imdb that Stephanie Powers was in a TV series about 4 years ago in 2000.
