Richie Brockelman, Private Eye is an American detective drama that was broadcast on NBC for five episodes in March and April 1978, with Dennis Dugan in the starring role.

[1][2] The hour-long series focused on Richie Brockelman, a 22-year-old, college-educated private investigator with his own agency in Los Angeles, California.

Brockleman was consistently underestimated due to his extremely youthful, clean-cut looks, which were coupled with an innocent, nerdy but friendly and often overly polite demeanor.

Initially filmed as a pilot for a TV series in 1976 titled "Richie Brockelman: The Missing 24 Hours" it was not picked up by NBC.

[3] Brockelman later appeared in another two-part episode of The Rockford Files, "Never Send a Boy King to Do a Man's Job", at the end of the 1978-79 season.

The theme song, "School's Out," was written by Mike Post, Pete Carpenter, Herb Pederson and Stephen Geyer.
