Hickey & Boggs
Our two protagonists do not live well. Hickey (Bill Cosby) evidently owns two suits, his marriage is a train wreck and ,for reasons never made clear, he is no longer with the L.A.P.D.. Boggs (Robert Culp) is only seen in the same blue suit and he drinks too much. There is also a hint that Boggs might be gay and pays street hustlers for their services.
