American writer Sidney Sheldon who is also credited for creating other drama such as ‘the patty duke show’ and ‘I dream of Jeannie’, collaborated with renowned writer and producer Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg to create the late 70s’ popular television series ‘Hart to Hart’ for the ABC Television Network; the American Television series aired to the public from 1979 to 1984.

The plot of this TV series follows Jonathan Hart – played by Robert Wagner, a millionaire (self made) and director of his global company, Hart Industries and his lovable wife Jennifer Wagner – played by Stefanie Powers; who was a journalist albeit a freelance one. Every episode follow this glamorous and wealthy couples’ lives in their some what amateur detective escapades in solving cases which most often then not involve murder, theft, smuggling, and international espionage. Jonathan and Jennifer’s life would not run smoothly had it not been for the loyal service of their pleasant butler Max, who assists around their luxurious Californian home; max’s character is played by Lionel Stander.

Other minor roles in the series are that of the Chauffeur who tends to get involved in the Harts’ ‘cases’ at their behest, and the cook. The Hart’s also keep a dog in their home named freeway; a name given to him because of where they found and rescued him.

Hart to Hart show on DVD can now be yours with complete collection of all the episodes and seasons on DVDs in one package giving you hundreds of hours of fun and excitement with your loved ones.

It is worth noting that the original script was written for an entirely different network (CBS) under a totally different name – Double Twist, with a plot along the lines of a couple who played spies (think Mr. and Mrs. Smith), by Sidney Sheldon. The original script was never developed for television, and it took the intervention of well known producer Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg to recreate a contemporary setting for the script.

This led them to Tom Mankiewicz who worked his magic and developed ‘Hart to Hart’ also making his directorial debut on the show by directing the pilot episode. Tom remained with the television series for latter episodes, but only as a well versed creative consultant. Casting for the role of Jonathan changed a few times with indecision over whether Cary Grant should have the part or Robert Wagner; because of Grant’s age and being retired, the more natural choice for the part was Robert Wagner.
