Los Angeles D.A. “Fatman” McCabe returns with his suave P.I. sidekick Jake Styles for the second half of the 1987 season. William Conrad carries the show as the bull dog-owning, portly D.A. The chemistry between the slick P.I. and the grouchy veteran keeps the show watchable despite the dated one-storyline format.
