Line 1: {{work}} Enjoyable 80s detective drama set in San Diego, California. Brothers Rick and A.J. Simon are partners in a private detective agency. They are polar opposites: bad boy Rick is a street-smart former Marine and Vietnam vet who has friends in low places and a love for cheap pleasures; golden boy A.J. is a book-smart college graduate, a former Vietnam protester (he wanted his big brother to come home safe) whose tastes run to the more upscale. Rick drives a beat-up old pickup truck, adheres to a casual dress code (including his ever-present cowboy hat) and lives on a boat parked on a trailer in A.J.'s yard with his dog Marlowe; A.J. drives a series of classic sports cars, has a yuppie wardrobe and lives in a tasteful little house near the water. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This show provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Action Series]] * [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Even though Rick is the older brother, both brothers exhibit this trope on occasion. * [[Black Best Friend]]: Downtown Brown, one of he coolest police lieutenants on TV, ever. Say it with me now-- {{quote\| '''Town''': "Raise your right hand and repeat after me: 'We're deputies.'"~~<br />~~ '''Simon Bros.''': "We're deputies."~~<br />~~ '''Town''': "You're deputies." }} * [[Cool Car]]: Rick had his Dodge Power Wagon, and AJ had a series of them: a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, later a customized Chevrolet Camaro Z28, and then a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS convertible in a two-part episode ("Pirate Key"). * [[Crossover]]: With ''[[Magnum, PIP.I.]]''. First the Simon Brothers appeared on ''Magnum'', and then Higgins appeared on the following ''Simon and Simon'' episode. ** Also with the nearly-forgotten show [[Whiz Kids]]. * [[Dawson Casting]]: Of a sort. AJ is to be several years younger than Rick, but in real life the actors were only born months apart. * [[Friend Onon the Force]]: Assistant D.A. Janet Fowler in the early seasons, followed by Downtown Brown and then Lt. Abigail Marsh for the last two. * [[Horrible Hollywood]]: Rick Simon routinely refers to Hollywood as "Hollyweird". * [[Knockout Gas]]: In the episode "Under the Knife" has A.J. gassed in a hospital room and in danger of unnecessary surgery when the brothers get too close to the truth in a malpractice scam.
