DINING ROOM

 

Scarecrow and Mrs. King ran from 1983 until 1987 and supplied us with two of the most enduring, romantic, funny, loveable and colourful characters in TV history.

The first was Lee Stetson, codename: Scarecrow.  A secret agent ("Never really cared for the word spy") working for a covert organisation called 'The Agency'. His boss was William (Billy) Melrose, who was invariably frustrated by Lee's constant lack of doing anything 'by the book'. Even so, they were good friends, as was Billy's assistant, Francine Desmond. Beautiful, materialistic and sarcastic (downright rudeness when dealing with Amanda), Francine was another agent and good friend to Lee. Lee himself was handsome, sophisticated, a ladies man who drove a classic Porsche and one of the top agents ever recruited. A loner who shunned working with anyone after his previous partner took a bullet in the head for him.

The second was Amanda King. A housewife living in Arlington, Virginia. An incessant talker with a knack of getting into any trouble going, she was divorced and lived with her two sons, Philip and Jaime and her mother Dotty (Dorothea). Although somewhat 'scatty', she was also bright, stubborn, caring and had a unique way of looking at things that would help Lee on a number of missions. She had a boyfriend called Dean and life was....OK.

The pilot episode (The First Time) introduced and gave us a little background to the main characters and how they met. It was all down to a little package......
