I've always wondered ever since I heard Cartman say it, what exactly is Simon And Simon? I don't remember that show if it is one...
What's Simon And Simon?

Simon & Simon was a T.V. show from the 80's about 2 brothers who, I believe, were some sort of private eyes or something like that. Never did watch an episode. If anyone knows what they're occupation actually was please let me know b/c I think I'm mistaken.

You are mistaken, pinhead. There was never a show by that name. It was made up by the creators of SP. I guess you're the sort of genius that is out there looking for Veal Roll-ups. Wake the fuck up.

Why don't you check your facts before mouthing off, neophyte? _Simon and Simon_ was a real show in the 80s. Go to the IMDb and look it up.
About all this Simon & Simon crap, this had me laughing my ass off: I was going through the onscreen guide on my satellite and I saw that South Park is on opposite Simon & Simon on Wednesday nights! As Kyle said, "What incredible irony!"
Out of the ether [email] (Mike) rose up and issued forth:
I was in an IRC channel one night when someone joyously announced that the Volcano episode was starting and I was amused to note that on a local channel here they were showing Step By Step at that time :)

Heh, can you REALLY blame him though for his mistake? After all, he's probably one of these kids who don't believe there was anything on TV prior to Saved by the Bell. :-)
Simon and Simon was a half-hour comedy on CBS. It was based in San Diego, and it stared none other than Paul Simon as a singing private eye. His secretary was played by *Carly* Simon, and there were frequent guest appearances by Harlan Ellison as a wacky Martian named Zeezor.
This is also the same show that had a little robot that went "beedie beedie beedie." That little guy was my favorite. I can't believe nobody remembers this series.

Well, then pop some pain killers and tune in at 1am Eastern on WGN and see what show this thread is all about. I have watched it a few times and find it just as boring now as it was when it was on years ago!!!

There was a SImon + Simon movie about two years back. Gerald McRaney looked the same, but umm....gosh, I'm blanking on the other actor..he looked much older, with whie streaks and a slightly bushy moustache. I didn't really pay attention to the movie, so I'm not sure how good it was.
The only previous "reunion" was on an episode of MAJOR DAD. The actor (I am SOO sorry for forgetting the name) donated his fees to a charity, I believe. His real-life son suffered from some sort of illness.
And of course, there were the Simon + Simon crossovers with MAGNUM PI, and even WHIZ KIDS.
I am so ashamed of myself for knowing this.

Does anyone know why this moron posts here. If you don't care then don't respond..genius.
He's just mad cause he realizes he's an asshole.

Oh, I'm awake you moron. Either your too young or too dumb to remember the 80's but either way keep your mouth shut b/c you don't have a clue. Pretty angry over something so stupid aren't you? Better watch out I guess some people get all fired up over cartoons. Way to go genius

I do hope you are kidding, Sheri was absolutly correct.......pinhead.
In article ,
Simon and Simon were detectives. They were played by Gerald McRainey (who went on to be Major Dad) and MacClaine Stevenson (who went on to ask people, "Do you want fries with that?")
And Cartman is correct. They were not, in fact, brothers in real life.

actually it was Parker Stevens.McClaine Stevenson was Col. Henry Blake on M*A*S*H*(yes Bovineyard it also is a REAL SHOW) and on a show called Hello Larry( also a REAL SHOW even though it really was kind of hard to tell at the time). Hope this helps. PSSST...Bovineyard read the bottom of this message ...kinda fits your situation does'nt it?????

No, you're thinking of Parker Stevenson. MacLean Stevenson played Colonel Blake in M*A*S*H, and went downhill from there. (He's the only person to have an entire chapter to himself in the book _TV Turkeys_.)
Proof?

It was a show during the 80's that featured two brothers who were private detectives. I think it came out around the same time as Magnum P.I

It was one of the few shows ever set in and sometimes filmed in America's finest city, San Diego.
It was a detective show about 15 (?) years ago about 2 brothers. It came on after Magnum, P.I. Gerald McRaney and some other guy. Cool theme song!!!
