Spoof detective

[petesgrayz]

Trying to think of the name of a spoof private detective series from the 80s. It was American and I think the name of the show was the guys name. He had a female assistant.
TIA

I loved Sledgehammer but it was always on very late so missed most of the episodes. No one else semmed to know about it either.
