Scarecrow and Mrs. King

The series starred Kate Jackson[?], of Charlie's Angels fame, and Bruce Boxleitner[?], best known for his role in the film Tron, and later, Babylon 5.

The setup for the series was that Lee Stetson, or "Scarecrow" (Boxleitner) is a secret agent who inadvertently embroiled widowed housewife Mrs. King (Jackson) in his mission. Mrs. King is too inquisitive to leave well enough alone, and with each episode becomes more and more involved with the fictitious Agency, and with Stetson.

This show relied heavily on a Cold War mentality, and most of the plots involved Soviet spies. The show may have jumped the shark when the romantic nature of Lee and Amanda's relationship ceased to be clandestine, and they started talking about marriage. (see Moonlighting[?] and Remington Steele[?] for similar programs)
