SYNOPSIS: CASSIE & CO. aired for 1 season in 1982 on NBC. The crime series is about the adventures of Cassie Holland, a beautiful private detective who uses her expertise as a former police officer and criminologist to solve crimes. The tough and feisty former police officer-turned-private detective Cassie Holland is played to perfection by Angie Dickinson.

The series came on the heels of POLICE WOMAN which also aired on NBC. The comparisons to Dickinson's portrayal of Sgt. Suzanne 'Pepper' Anderson were inevitable.

The theme song was written and performed by Grover Washington Jr.
