Tenafly is a crime-drama series starring James McEachin that was part of the NBC Mystery Movie wheel for the 1973-74 season. It was created by Richard Levinson and William Link, the creators of popular mystery television shows such as Columbo and Murder, She Wrote. It was the one of the first television series that season to star an African-American character as the protagonist (the other show being Shaft with Richard Roundtree). Due to low ratings, Tenafly only lasted one season.

Overview
The show was set in Los Angeles and starred James McEachin as Harry Tenafly, a former cop who left the department for a better paying job at a large private investigation agency, Hightower Investigations, Inc. Unlike many TV private eyes of the era, Harry Tenafly was a happily married, middle-class, suburban family man; he preferred to avoid car chases and gunfights and used brains over brawn in solving his cases. Though he left the force for the private sector to avoid the dangers inherent in police work, trouble nonetheless seemed to find Tenafly.
Trivia
The title character was named after Tenafly, New Jersey.[citation needed] This name may also have been a comical allusion to Superfly, one of the more popular movies of the '70's blaxploitation genre.
