Summary:
"Male-female detective pairings often exhibit offbeat, dark humor and
considerable chemistry as they investigate crimes. They have proven
to be both entertaining and alluring on screen and television. This
work reveals an evolutionary progression in the depictions of three
such detective duos: the married pair Nick and Nora Charles of The
Thin Man, black-humored special agents John Steed and Emma Peel of
The Avengers, and finally the smoldering Mulder and Scully in The
X-Files. Ten chapters offer critical analysis, rich with background
information and insider observations. Production comments are given
throughout. Three appendices (one for each series) offer episode
guides with original broadcast dates, credits and brief
synopses."--BOOK JACKET.
