Leg Work is an American crime drama television series created by Frank Abatemarco that premiered on CBS on October 3, 1987.

Set in New York City, the show's main character was Claire McCarron (played by Margaret Colin), a former Assistant D.A.

The show also starred Patrick James Clarke as her brother and NYPD lieutenant Fred McCarron, and Frances McDormand as Willie Pipal, her friend who still worked for the DA's office.

However even before its premiere, critics anticipated a quick demise due to its difficult programming slot, on Saturday nights opposite NBC's The Golden Girls and Amen.

It premiered in the UK on the ITV network (usually in a late Friday night slot) in Spring 1988.
