Starring: Thom Bray, June Chadwick, Perry King

Summary: Cody Allen and Nick Ryder are two long-time friends who had served together in Vietnam.
Their Private Investigation business was based on Cody's boat, The Riptide, in King Harbour, Los Angeles.

Their Private Investigation business was based on Cody's boat, The Riptide, in King Harbour, Los Angeles.
In the Pilot adventure, faced with their first big case, they decided to recruit another old pal from 'Nam, the bespectacled, rather nerdish but much likeable electronics genius Murray "Boz" Bozinsky.

Along with his hoard of computer equipment, Murray had developed a strange-looking orange robot called "The Roboz", which had numerous unpredictable bugs but occasionally proved useful. Vehicle-wise, beyond the Riptide itself, the trio had an array of transport, including Nick's ancient, pink Sikorsky S-58T helicopter "The Screaming Mimi", which had a huge gaping mouth painted on the front, and had habit of cutting out at just the wrong moment; The Ebb-Tide - Cody's speed boat; Nick's classic Corvette; and most commonly, Cody's GMC Jimmy truck.

Their investigations into cases often found them treading on the toes of Lt. Ted Quinlan, who saw them as nothing but trouble-makers.
As the series progressed, Quinlan's tolerance of the trio gradually grew, albeit very slightly, and they several times co-operated to solve a case.
Quinlan met his demise at the end of the third season episode Requiem For Icarus; afterwhich the trio's new police contact was the much more co-operative Lt. Joanna Parisi, introduced in Lady Killer.

Like "Airwolf" (1984) on CBS and "Blue Thunder" (1984) on ABC, "Riptide" initially featured prominent use of a helicopter. But that aspect was soon dropped in favor of more standard private-eye car chases and such. ============================== Release dates USA -- 3 January 1984 France -- 23 April 1986 UK -- 5 June 1986 ======================= Filming Locations 1.
