Partners in Crime is an American television series set in San Francisco, California, that aired on NBC from September to December 1984 during the 1984–85 U.S. television season.

Overview

The series starred Lynda Carter as Carole Stanwyck and Loni Anderson as Sydney Kovack, two women with little in common except sharing Raymond as an ex-husband.
