Tenafly is a crime-drama series starring James McEachin that was part of The NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie wheel for the 1973-74 season.
[1] It was created by Richard Levinson and William Link, the creators of popular mystery television shows such as Columbo and Murder, She Wrote.
[2] It was one of the first television series that season to feature an African-American character as the protagonist (the other being Shaft starring Richard Roundtree).
Unlike many TV private eyes of the era, Harry Tenafly was a happily married, middle-class, suburban family man; he preferred to avoid car chases and gunfights and used brains over brawn in solving his cases.
Though he left the force for the private sector to avoid the dangers inherent in police work, trouble nonetheless seemed to find Tenafly.
