Rick or A.J.? I always liked Rick, he reminded me of family. A.J. always kind of reminded me of the family that was never around when you needed them. But you know what, they were both relatable and exceptional characters to follow in a string of TV shows in the 80s that focused on detectives....I would LOVE to have those back, wouldn't you? Trade in all the police procedural in the world for those. Anyway, it was mainly forgotten, and that is a shame, because it was a GREAT depiction of how siblings squabble and fight and yet still stick together. It's a bit smarter than people give it credit for, but that doesn't matter because it is endlessly entertaining.
