520  1   $a"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.
