Review of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries

My sisters favorite show! May sis was in love with Shaun Casady back in the day so we watched The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries every Sunday. The music an graphics was great. They usual formulated mystery shows of the era. Hidden walls, tunnels, caves, town secrets etc. Much like the books my mother read to as a child the story follows the book well. The one episode I remember is when Shaun's girlfriend was kill and Shaun tried to get in with the bad crowd while brother got stuck surfing with Sharks. Never forgot the Porch race with the Corvette! Lot's of red meat in these series. The usual formulated ending with all the lose ends tying up. The surprise plot twists with a deranged trap. A last minute character figures out the trap and saves the day. We annualized the plot devices at university one year and all the devices made for an interesting show. Geared for a younger audience but a good throwback for a different era.
