"Love and the Private Eye" is a segment in an episode of Love, American Style season three, with the intent of being a back-door pilot to an adult spy comedy that failed to become fully realized. It aired on January 28, 1972 on ABC. It was written by Ray Allen and Harvey Bullock, and produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the co-founders of Hanna-Barbera Productions. Hanna-Barbera didn't forget the idea of a private investigator, which may have morphed into the tamer Inch High, Private Eye, which began a year later.

Private investigator Melvin Danger looks into the murder of his client.

Behind the scenes

  • Like other Hanna-Barbera series at the time, it also had its own laugh track.
  • This was the first of two pilots Hanna-Barbera tested through Love, American Style, but where as this failed, the second one entitled "Love and the Old-Fashioned Father", led to the full series Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, which lasted three seasons.
