"Partners in Crime" is an American crime drama television series set in San Francisco. It was created in 1984 by William Driskill.

Fifty/Fifty was later shown in Fifty, an English version of the series. This was to avoid any confusion with Agatha Christie’s Partners in Crime.
Hot Pursuit
NBC topped Nielsen ratings in the initial weeks of the 1985-1986 television year, surpassing CBS, ABC and all the other networks. However, the network's lineup was rather bland.
