Simon & Simon (Seasons 1–8)

Simon & Simon (1981) is the breezy American detective series you can watch online on iFILM. Two brothers run a private investigation agency in San Diego and agree on almost nothing. A.J. is the polished one — tailored suits, classic cars, a tidy ledger. Rick is the rougher older brother, all cowboy boots and a four-wheel-drive pickup, the kind who settles things with his fists first.

That clash is the whole engine of the show. The pair chase missing persons, insurance scams, blackmail and the occasional murder, bickering through every case yet covering each other when it counts. Jameson Parker and Gerald McRaney carry it on pure sibling chemistry, where a kitchen-table argument lands as hard as any car chase.

The CBS series ran for eight seasons and became one of the decade's signature crime shows — sunny, light on its feet, easy to drop into anywhere. It suits anyone who likes old-school gumshoes and an unhurried California pace. Stream Simon & Simon (1981) online on iFILM.
