The Big Easy

Series created by Jacqueline Zambrano

Season 1 theme written by Wardell Quezergue & Chief "Smiley" Ricks

The Big Easy was a cop show with a drawl and a glint in the eye.

Det. Remy McSwain, a smooth-talking ladies's man, tracked down criminals in the colorful alleyways of New Orleans. Always ready to bend the law to get things done - as was everyone else in the Crescent City, apparently - Remy met his match in uptight federal attorney Anne Osborne, who came to investigate a crime and decided to stay. Civil War buff, C. D. was both Remy's uncle and his boss on the police force. Darlene was his man-hungry co-worker. Smiley his jazzman friend and street informant, and Lightnin' the scheeming D.A., and Janine Rebbenack his protege in season two.
