Simon & Simon is a show based on two brothers who just happen to be private investigators. They live and work in San Diego where once a week, for eight seasons, the series revealed the loyality and love they had for one another. "They're more than brothers, they're best of friends." The show was cancelled midway into the eighth season, and it was only in re-runs that the final episodes were ever aired.

The original theme song for the show was performed by The Thrasher Brothers. Later seasons featured a more contemporary instrumental theme, but used the same music as the original.less «

  News Article from 6/17/2004 Simon & Simon fans who also enjoy Magnum P.I. will certainly like this news! The 2nd season of Simon & Simon opened with the second half of a two-part story, that concluded a crossover with a Magnum P.I. episode which had aired earlier that night. Morgan Fairchild guest-starred in both parts of the story, as we detailed in our Magnum news post. Although the Magnum episode, "Ki'I's Don't Lie," was a 3rd-Season episode for Tom Selleck's series, it is being included as part of a special bonus disc in the Sept. 7th release of Magnum, P.I. - The Complete 1st Season. For the first time in 22 years, fans will get to see that episode as orginally broadcast, with the bad guy getting away at the end, and with the chase being taking up in the Simon & Simon episode "Emeralds are Not a Girl's Best Friend". So both parts of the story - "Ki'I's Don't Lie" and the Simon & Simon episode "Emeralds are Not a Girl's Best Friend" - WILL be included on this bonus DVD in the Magnum release (additionally, another two-parter from Magnum's 5th season, guest-starring Sharon Stone, will be included on the bonus disc in the Magnum, P.I. - The Complete 1st Season set). If you're a huge Simon & Simon fan, and have been on-the-fence about whether or not to buy the Magnum DVDs, then this ought to close the deal for you. Good job, Universal Studios...please think along these lines for the planned DVD releases of The Bionic Woman! less «

• Does anyone know why the theme music was changed?

  I watched this show when I was growing up but I did not know that the early seasons had a different theme song.  I am curious if anyone knows why the theme song changed.

  For those who have COMCAST cable, Simon and Simon is on every night at 11 PM right after Magnum PI on RTN (Retro Television Network). They are not in sequence. I have seen season 1, 2, 8, and others. It does seem strange when they change seasons due to office, car, character changes. They are all like new to me since I have not seen since they were on in 80s. less «

  8 Great

  i watch simon&simon bcause of the way television show was back in the 80's it seems to have more action then the shows that are being broadcast today. it's very funny,but also serious side of crime/drama and the brothers of cailforina. detectives. hide « show »

  simon&simon is like the early days of prison break to me, but i remembered it when i was young, and it was on CBS TV. it was all there was on at the time after maginum pi. on CBS. and it was the big deal back then when was on cbs. i watch it now and look back on the way it was and diffrent then it is now.and this show still has the same thrills as it was back in the 80's when it was new. all in a nut shell a great show and thanks for memories great.

  9.5 Superb

  Sleuth channel, thank you for giving us the opportunity to watch this great show once again! hide « show »

  The 80s were wonderful time in television for action, adventure, animation, comedy, and of course, mystery. This show is right up there with Magnum, P.I. as one of the best. Dynamic writing, effective use of plot and strong character development gave Rick and AJ Simon personalities all their own. One of the greatest episodes that best shows this is the series finale, where the brothers take on their final case in the series (until they come back for a reunion movie in 1995). Bittersweet as it was, they dealt with losing out in love, going through life day-to-day as private investigators. But no matter what, they have always been and always stick with each other through thick and thin. Each case they take through out the show's run brings them closer as siblings, as well as the friends and people they meet along the way that give them the courage and strength to be able to take on anything.
  
  It's not easy for me to explain each of the many details that I've enjoyed about this series, but I am thankful to finally be able to see this show on the Sleuth channel after a long absence from television. I highly suggest anyone who has this channel to watch all of the many mystery/p.i. shows the network offers. You'll be glad you did.

  Two brothers working together as detectives. hide « show »

  I was not born when this show was on TV. I just happened on it when I was watching the extra episodes on my Magnum, P.I. season one box set. I thought the episode was great. I asked my mom about Simon and Simon, and she told me that it was like Magnum, P.I. as in it was a detective show about two brothers.
  
  Well, I found the first season of Simon and Simon on DVD, and I watched every single episode. I love it! This is a great show.
  
  The show follows two brothers, Rick and AJ Simon, as they try to work together in their detective agency. They have totally different personalities than the other one. AJ is more clean cut. He wears suits, he is into old cars, and he is more of the business type. Rick on the other hand is the total oppisite of his brother. He would rather wear blue jeans and a t-shirt, go fishing, and he would rather play his guitar.
  
  Some how this two seem to be able to work together without a lot of trouble between the two of them. This was and is a great show that the whole family could watch. I know I would have loved this show if I was around when it was on.
  
  Overall, this is a great show, and we need to have shows on now that were more like this one.

  Awesome show from the 80's era. hide « show »

  What a blast from the past. They don't make shows this enjoyable anymore!! I hope Universal DVD releases all the remaining seasons on DVD soon. Rick and AJ were what all red blooded american kids wanted to be like during the 80's. They were tough and always got the job done. They were gentlemenly ladies men and always kicked a little butt in the process. The show was best with Janet, Towne, and Marlowe the Mutt. However, I'd take them all with GM and JP. This was when TV was clean and worth watching. I hope Sleuth plays all the episodes.

  i haven't seen that many episodes of simon and simon but i know that it is a decent show to watch . now that thev've taken it off of Dejaview i don't think i will see many more episodea especiaaly if there is 8 seaons. i think for a show like that to go on for 8 years and then make 2 movies after wwrds is just amazing .it has 2 of my favourite actors on it Gerald McCraney and Jameson Parker. i haven't seen Jameson Parker in a while but i watch Gerald every wednesday night on Jericho. Later.
