On May 5, 1986, the final episode of Hardcastle and McCormick aired, closing out a three season run that blended courtroom drama with car chases and buddy cop energy. The show followed a retired judge and an ex-con teaming up to bring criminals to justice, often behind the wheel of the show’s iconic sports car, the Coyote X.
The series ran for 67 episodes and became a cult favorite thanks to its action packed format and memorable theme song. Though it wrapped in 1986, Hardcastle and McCormick remains a nostalgic gem for fans of 80s television.
Fun fact: The Coyote X was based on a heavily modified McLaren M6B sports car and became one of the most recognizable vehicles on TV during the decade.
