On this day, January 27, 1985, Code Name: Foxfire premiered on NBC. This short-lived action-drama series followed a group of former secret agents reuniting to take on high-stakes missions. The team was led by Elizabeth "Foxfire" Towne, played by Joanna Cassidy, whose sharp leadership and espionage skills drove the show’s daring plots.

Although it had an intriguing premise and a strong lead performance, Code Name: Foxfire only lasted one season, with just 8 episodes produced. It struggled to find a consistent audience but remains a nostalgic gem for fans of 80s action TV.

Fun Fact: Joanna Cassidy, who starred as Foxfire, is also known for her iconic role as Zhora in Blade Runner (1982).

Trivia Question: What was the name of the popular 1980s TV series featuring a team of mercenaries who "love it when a plan comes together"?
