I loved it when I was growing up, and I still love it now. They do not make shows like this anymore and it's sad.

Love this show, under what I'd lightly joke as where MacGyver meets housewife. Cute, serious, sometimes improbable, but overall an enjoyable mystery espionage crime show for it's era. If you love MacGyver and Diagnosis: Murder, you'll hard pressed not to enjoy Scarecrow and Mrs. King too.
