I Had Three Wives is an American comedy-drama television series that aired on CBS from August 14 to September 11, 1985.

[2] The series follows Los Angeles-based "eternally romantic"[3] private investigator Jackson Beaudine (Victor Garber) who leverages the skills of his three ex-wives to help solve cases.

His first wife, Mary, who has remarried and who also has custody of Jackson's 10-year-old son Andrew, is a lawyer.

[4] I Had Three Wives was one of four television shows that were part of an early experiment by CBS to program original series during summer.

[5] Howard Rosenberg of Los Angeles Times reviewed I Had Three Wives negatively, calling the comedy/mystery series "...thin-plotted idiocy, a sort of citified Sleuths of Hazzard..."[8] Rosenberg later reported that the series earned "weak ratings" during its summer run, which likely damaged its chances for renewal.
