The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries	comment	Based on the two famous juvenile book series, The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, this 1977–79 mystery show on ABC starred Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy as the amateur detective brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, and Pamela Sue Martin (and later Janet Louise Johnson) as the intrepid girl detective Nancy Drew. Lasting three seasons, it is far and away the most successful filmed adaptation of any of the Stratemeyer Syndicate's properties.The Hardy Boys are brother amateur detectives, Frank (Parker Stevenson) and Joe (Shaun Cassidy). The two boys live in the fictional city of Bayport, Massachusetts (not New York, as in the books) with their famous father, Fenton Hardy (Ed Gilbert), a private detective who'd spent 20 years with the New York Police Department and who seemingly has connections everywhere. The brothers can't seem to go anywhere without having a mystery drop into their laps; even driving down a road heading for home means they'll get stopped by a young woman running away from an angry mob. In the third season, the focus of the series moved exclusively to them as they become professional police detectives for the Justice Department.Nancy Drew (usually Pamela Sue Martin, but Janet Louise Johnson in her last few appearances) is the amateur sleuth — she insists on the term "part-time investigator" — daughter of attorney Carson Drew (William Schallert). Nancy lives with her father in the fictional River Heights, New Jersey (not Illinois, as in the books). Her stories feature her close friend George (Georgia) Fayne (Jean Rasey and, later for three episodes, Susan Buckner) and Ned Nickerson (George O'Hanlon Jr., and later Rick Springfield in second season). Another prominent character from the Nancy Drew books, Bess Marvin (Ruth Cox), made only two appearances in two-part episodes.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The first two seasons had a very light-hearted, humorous tone. Season Three, though...dear GOD. It not only dropped Nancy Drew completely, but started off by killing Joe's fiancée in a car wreck (complete with Joe weeping over her body) and having Joe go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge in response ("Last Kiss of Summer"). Season Three ditched almost all the light-hearted humor, showed actual dead bodies, and involved more dangerous situations (including references to selling off Joe and a missing woman to white slavers in China — huhwhat?) and more conflict between the brothers ("Game Plan" had Frank pulling a gun on Joe). The turn confused the show's teen audience, and lost viewers.

Nancy tries to get a job at a travelling carnival to investigate a lead on a burglary ring. The carnival's owner exasperatedly says that she has to deal with "runaways" asking for work at every town the carnival visits, and tells Nancy to go home and try to work things out with her family instead.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_18805e9c	comment	Give Geeks a Chance: The romance subplot of Nancy Drew's first episode, "The Mystery of Pirate's Cove" plays out like this. Said "geek", Ned, has very obvious feelings for Nancy (who is seemingly Oblivious to Love), which he tries to deny and pass off as protectiveness because he works for her father; however, he's clearly jealous when she shows attraction to multiple different good-looking guys in the episode (while Ned himself, while not outright ugly, is pretty nerdy-looking), and George encourages him to admit his feelings. By the end of the episode, Ned has helped and protected her during the case multiple times, even putting himself at risk to do so, and wins Nancy over; subsequent episodes for the rest of the season show that they are dating, and Nancy doesn't really show serious attraction to any other guys besides Ned.

She barely escapes an attack as the Hardys rush in moments after the attacker has fled & both the Hardys & the police treat her as just another victim. While suspicion falls on various men around campus (a young man who's stalking one of the female students, a professor with a history of evil experiments, the school's male self-defense teacher), it turns out that Wendy herself is the kidnapper, suffering from delusional split-personality episodes. Her "other personality" faked the attack to throw the police off and was staging the attacks in an attempt to get Joe back with her.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: the show itself gets referenced in the book series: "Last Kiss of Summer" gets myth-gagged in spades by the books in the Casefiles debut, "Dead on Target". In "Last Kiss", Joe Hardy's fiance is killed in a car wreck by a drunk driver, and Joe goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge to bring the killer to justice. In "Dead on Target", they not only kill off Joe Hardy's longtime girlfriend in the series, Iola Morton, but do so in a car...and Joe subsequently goes on a revenge kick to bring down the Assassins who did it. Though, unlike Jamie, Iola's death is frequently brought up in subsequent books. "The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Meet Dracula" is myth-gagged in the Super Mysteries book series, "Terror on Tour", where Nancy and the Hardys meet at a rock show — and in the episode, the Hardys and Nancy meet while following a rock tour, and join forces to solve a series of art thefts. This is also the episode that started Frank and Nancy's romance in the show, and Frank has a crush on her throughout the Super Mysteries series. On a similar note, this is the first Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew crossover to give Nancy and Frank romantic feelings for each other, as all crossovers that had been published at the time just had her and the boys as platonic friends. Nearly all crossovers published after this series, though—be it in books or comics—at least give Frank one-sided feelings for Nancy, but it's frequently shown to be mutual, to the point that Nancy/Frank is a very popular Crossover Ship across many different iterations of their series. The first season episode "Wipe Out" does this to the books. In the books, Frank is a black belt in karate. In the episode, Frank and Joe are ambushed by a pair of tough hotel thieves; Joe bluffs them by saying that Frank is a "black belt, a master of the martial arts". The thieves believe it and leave, but then we get this exchange:

"The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Meet Dracula" not only had Battlestar Galactica (1978)'s Lorne Greene as the villain, but Bernie Taupin (Elton John's co-writer) and Paul Williams. "Assault on the Tower" had a very cool appearance by Patrick Macnee, recreating his John Steed role to help Joe rescue his father and brother.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_31362f50	comment	Hollywood Fire: "Mystery of the Flickering Torch" has Frank & Joe trapped in a small closet while fire rages outside; the only sign they have that the fire even exists is a bit of smoke under the door. When they finally break out, the fire has completely engulfed the office in lots & lots of flames, though not the closet, and the brothers dive heroically through the raging fire engulfing the room and into the next office...where there's absolutely no sign of any fire at all, save for the firefighters coming into the well-lit, smoke-free building. "Arson & Old Lace" has an arsonist setting several raging fires in an office building. Massive amounts of flames rage in an empty office, where the arsonist has been knocked out by an explosion. Yet the flames very carefully don't touch her, nor does the massive fire & intense heat interfere with Frank and Joe dragging the woman out of the room. We're also shown many stock footage scenes of fire fighters battling out-of-control fire all over the walls, ceiling, and floor. On top of that, Joe detours to help a young child trapped in an office; flames come roaring in to cover the ceiling and trigger an explosion, yet Joe ducks behind a half-wall and, aside from a bit of soot-smudge, takes no damage from either fire nor explosion.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_33d5b7f2	type	Adapted Out
The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: The show cuts most of The Hardy Boys books' supporting cast. The Hardys' mother, Laura, is dead, and the boys live with their widowed father and Aunt Gertrude; their only friends from the books that appear in this show are Callie Shaw and Chet Morton, and Chet's only in two episodes. The second and third seasons take this even further by dropping Callie and Chet as well and never mentioning them again, and also never having Aunt Gertrude appear onscreen again (though she is mentioned once or twice), leaving the boys and their father Fenton as the only three main characters from the books who still appear. For the Nancy Drew side, it cuts out the Drews' ubiquitous housekeeper Hannah (Nancy just lives alone with her father), and Nancy's two gal pals, George and Bess (who are cousins in the books), are never seen in the same episode together; Bess is adapted out of the first season entirely. While Ned Nickerson is a regular in the first season, the second season almost entirely adapts him out, too; in the one episode where he does appear, he's a brand-new character played by a different actor, who's meeting Nancy for the first time.

As the boys travel to Transylvania across Europe, it's followed by "Paris - June 9th," "Munich - June 10th," "Poenari - June 11th," and finally "Dracula Castle - June 12th." "The Creatures Who Came on Sunday" is set in "JUSTICE, NEW MEXICO." "The Strange Fate of Flight 608" opens in "NASSAU." "Acapulco Spies" has "ACAPULCO," unsurprisingly. "The Mystery of the Silent Scream" is set in "LAS VEGAS." The first scene of "Will The Real Santa Claus..." is set in an unnamed town, but the beginning of the second scene is captioned "River Heights." "Oh Say Can You Sing" opens with the caption "Spencer Valley." Kind of redundant, since Frank names the town a minute later. "Sole Survivor" has "Hong Kong." "Voodoo Doll" has "Mardi Gras, New Orleans."

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_43dc74d0	comment	Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Frank Hardy, Manly (Parker Stevenson being the muscled prep-school jock into surfing), aggressive, and likely to get into a fight; at one point, he even threatens to kick someone's teeth in. Younger Brother Joe, Sensitive (Shaun Cassidy, slender teen-idol musician) who tries to avoid trouble at all costs & is more likely to fall for the victim-of-the-week. Though the show occasionally subverted it by having Frank shove Joe out front in dangerous situations. Season Three swapped it around 180-degrees. Joe Hardy went from Sensitive Guy to the guy most likely to chase down the villain and get into a fight, with Frank being the one who gains a target's trust, often getting emotionally involved with the target, & is subsequently shown as upset and conflicted over breaking that trust.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_4856ac40	comment	Stock Footage: The show used stock footage to open many episodes to establish locale, but there were also many painfully obvious uses: "The Strange Fate of Flight 608": stock footage is clearly used to show the evacuation of the jet after it crashes into the ocean. What makes it really painful? In the episode, the male pilots have all been poisoned and knocked out; the Hardy Boys are the only conscious males on board. Yet the stock footage clearly shows wide-awake male pilots helping passengers crawl out over the wing to the waiting rafts. "The Disappearing Floor" uses obvious stock footage of a wolf charging to "attack" the Hardy brothers. "Mystery of the Jade Kwan Yin" also uses stock footage to show a boat explosion in Bayport's harbor...a different make and style of boat, which despite the episode showing it docked, is out at sea in the footage. "Voodoo Doll" fairs better, using stock footage to show New Orleans on Bourbon Street to open the episode...though the subsequent sets in the episode didn't even try to look like the French Quarter. "Mystery of Witches Hollow" also uses painfully obvious stock footage of a panther running through a sunlit field to show said panther attacking Callie, who's in heavy forest, at night. "Mystery of the Flickering Torch" also doubles as a Shout-Out: the opening shots of Emergency! which show Station 51 pulling out are used for Bayport's fire fighters, who arrive to put out the arson that has the Hardys trapped. Throughout the Hardy Boys side of the series, the same 1st-season footage of the brothers' van driving along a back road is used in many episodes, no matter what the actual locale. Shots of the Hardy home were also used for other characters' houses, as well.

"Mystery On The Avalanche Express" had a side plot of a ski champion wanting to defect to the West, and dragging Joe into the matter. "Defection To Paradise" had the daughter of a top Russian Official trying to defect to the US and being chased down by Russian assassins. Ultimately subverted, as the woman wants nothing to do with either side and refuses to cooperate with the US, even though her lover is one of the US agents who helped her. Frank and Joe end up helping her and her boyfriend escape both Russia and the US to flee towards an unnamed neutral country.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_59907e4f	comment	Police Are Useless: Not ONE episode on the Hardy Boys' side in season one or two had a single case of the cops ever believing what the brothers' said. At least, not at first. Usually, said cops were just as likely to toss the Hardys in jail for disturbing their peace. Eventually averted in the third season when the Hardy brothers become Justice Dept. police detectives themselves. Still played mostly straight in Season Three, as the Hardys often took on assignments that the regular Justice Department couldn't figure out. "Last Kiss of Summer" is the best example: the Feds have wasted 7 years trying to bust a pair of robbers and stonewall the Hardys with a lazy, pro-forma explanation of "priorities" when Joe asks why they won't bust one of the robbers for the hit-and-run of his fiance. Naturally, Joe and Frank manage to nail the crooks in just a few days. Subverted in Season Three's "Defection to Paradise", with Harry Hammond apparently giving Frank and Joe a stupid-easy assignment to find a missing amplifier and playing up an image of a bumbling, old-fogey Fed who can't manage such a "hip" assignment. Of course, Harry's really set up the whole thing as a smokescreen to hide the defection of a young Russian woman, and the Hardys are his unwitting fall-guys. The episode "Creatures who came on Sunday" subverted this by having the sheriff be in on the whole secret operation. He was stonewalling the Hardys with his useless act to deliberately keep them away from the top secret plot. "Mystery of the Jade Kwan Yin" inverts this: the Hardys find a valuable jade statue that's apparently been dumped in the bay. Rather than turn it in to the police, the brothers investigate it themselves, only for the statue to be stolen from their home. Bayport's police chief promptly chews them out for not turning it in immediately — the police had already been notified of the statue's disappearance by the FBI, that there was a smuggling ring operating in the area, and who the statue's rightful owner was.

With a phone and an intercom to a secretary who's not in on the plot. With an elevator that doesn't require any special code to operate, that leads right down to a very public and open office area. No, she's not tied up. She's not held under lock and key. And somehow the elderly gent is able to force her into an elaborate dress and hairstyle, too. She just passively waits for Frank Hardy to rescue her as the building is burning down. Ditto "Voodoo Doll". Nancy goes off on her own to investigate the villain. Yup, gets caught. Yup, is held captive, still not tied-up, with two other women who are similarly untied, in an open, public, unguarded warehouse with tons of crates and tools. The only door into the warehouse area is locked. On Nancy's side of the door. With the hinges on her side, too. Her one attempt to escape involves her climbing UP crates to go through a window and is promptly caught.

Joe wrecks a federal undercover sting operation, abandons his father and brother, and nearly gets his brother Frank killed, all to get revenge for his fiance, Jamie, and to bring her killer to justice.

At one point, the site manager asks Frank and Joe how much they know about archeology. Frank starts off innocently enough with a reference to "Petrie's system of excavation"note a reference to William Petrie, who set exacting standards for archeological work in the 1900s, but has no specific system attached to his name. Then Frank goes on to babble about the lack of "pulse induction readings" and "flux gates", with the site manager commenting that the "volcanic activity" in the area has ruled them out. Considering that "pulse induction" is a metal detector and a "flux gate" a magnetometer (used to measure magnetism on objects), nothing volcanic would prevent the use of that equipment. The site manager also babbles about "plate activity" jumbling the readings...which wouldn't stop any decent archeological team, who would know how to read soil & rock levels. About the only thing Frank gets right is a reference to "Fiorelli's technique", used at Pompeii to make molds of corpses under the volcanic rock.

(Much to Nancy's surprise, however, this fails to intimidate Frank into backing off, because the hotel room was Frank's and Joe's only lead to finding their missing father.) Whatever skills Nancy possessed in the books, a proficiency in any martial art was not one of them, at least not in the books that were published at the time. (Later novels in the series changed this.) There were far too many stories in which Nancy was overpowered, kidnapped, and tied up by the villains for that to be the case.

Acting on instinct, the Hardy Boys stop the plane and the plane is discovered to be much more subtly sabotaged: with a special radio designed to interfere with the plane's navigational equipment to make sure it goes off course over water and crash when it runs out of fuel with no land in sight...not to mention a missing technician who discovered the plot and tried to warn of the problem is found tied up in the empty spare fuel tank.

"Acapulco Spies": The Big Bad is again a former friend of Fenton's who kidnaps him, holds him prisoner throughout the episode, terrorizes his sons, and uses him as a hostage to attempt to get information out of said sons. "Sole Survivor": When a group of foreign spies tricks Joe into believing his brother and father are dead in order to get information out of him, the lone female agent of the group bonds with him the most while comforting him over his "loss". When Joe discovers the ruse, he's clearly upset and hurt by her betrayal (far more than that of any of the other agents), and despite the agent claiming that she was just playing the role she was supposed to play to get him to trust her, she clearly feels some level of remorse about it. At the end, when the woman's been apprehended and Joe shows up to save Frank and Fenton from the other bad guys, she tells him where they are in time for him to rescue them. "Campus Terror": Sort of; the bad guy turns out to be Joe's former girlfriend who called him in on the case to begin with, but it's actually her Split Personality who's really responsible.

Frank Hardy is so determined to find out what happened to Sharon's missing boyfriend that he not only ignores three back-off warnings from the local sheriff, supposed government agents, and Sharon herself, he then ends up leading mob killers (masquerading as those government agents) onto the boyfriend, who is in the Witness Protection Program and in hiding in a facility up on the mountain. This results in the mob killers taking Frank, Joe, and Sharon hostage, then forcing Joe at gunpoint to lead them back to the facility to point the boyfriend out so they can shoot him. "Death Surf". Once more, Frank Hardy starts asking questions to find out more about a woman who's been killed in a drowning accident while he was wind-surfing nearby. Granted, he's doing so at the behest of the woman's father, but only to find out what the woman was like. Frank receives two back-off speeches that he's going too far, one from the owner of a bar where the woman worked and the second from his brother Joe, but Frank is so obsessed with finding out about the woman that he not only ignores the warnings and finds the woman is still alive...but has led a criminal who is trying to find her to kill her directly to her.

On top of that, Frank Hardy & Nancy Drew use an elevator shaft to climb to the roof & escape the fire. The room they're in is full of smoke, the shaft is shown to have flames on the floors below, yet neither Frank nor Nancy have any issues breathing nor do they cook alive while climbing this smoking-hot chimney of an elevator.

Nearly all crossovers published after this series, though—be it in books or comics—at least give Frank one-sided feelings for Nancy, but it's frequently shown to be mutual, to the point that Nancy/Frank is a very popular Crossover Ship across many different iterations of their series.

Sometimes the girls are old friends or former girlfriends, while other times they're new friends that the boys meet in the location they've traveled to, or are the kidnap victims they're searching for. Usually, one or both of the boys will be interested in the girl, or if there are multiple, each brother is attracted to one of them, although sometimes the girls are just platonic friends. Nancy serves this role in the crossover episodes as a more prominent, recurring example.

For Nancy Drew: Bess Marvin, one of Nancy's two best friends who also appears in each of the original books after her introduction, doesn't even show up at all in the first season with Ned and George. Her only appearances in the second season are in the crossover episodes with the Hardys, where she doesn't play any kind of significant role, and one of which is a cameo.

An older waitress (Bernie) seriously hits on Joe, despite Joe being visibly and highly uncomfortable with this, and keeps hitting on him even though Joe puts her off several times; though the actor (Shaun Cassidy) is 19 at the time, in the show, Joe is supposed to be underage, which just heightens the creep factor, and Bernie is fully aware of this, making reference at a later point to Joe's "mom" saying it's okay for him to come out and play. The show tops this by having Joe going out with Bernie at the end of the episode! Gender-flip this — if it'd been Nancy Drew getting highly unwanted advances from a male waiter, and we'd be rooting for Nancy to deck the guy. "Life on the Line". Frank gets unwanted attention and harassment by a psychotic motorbike racer, who is insanely jealous of Frank protecting one of her fellow racers. The psychotic woman invades Frank's trailer, spies on him as he's changing clothes, and tries to get him drunk, all of which make Frank very, very uncomfortable. But the show then shows Frank as feeling guilty that he had to turn the woman in for attempting to murder the other racer. Yeah. Right.

"Death Surf" — this time Frank falls in love with a girl he's seen for only three or four seconds...and who's supposedly dead for most of the episode.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: "Last Kiss of Summer": After blowing an undercover federal agent's cover, not only wrecking the government's operation, but putting that agent at risk, since the Big Bads are stated to be ruthless killers, Joe gets three of these: one from the federal agent himself (who runs Joe off the road to deliver it), the second from his brother Frank, and the third from his dad, Fenton. "Game Plan": Deep undercover, Frank has apparently fallen in love with the woman behind a securities scheme and tips the woman off to an impending federal raid after Joe goes in to warn Frank to get out. Frank pulls a gun on Joe, apparently severing ties with the feds, resulting in Joe delivering this.

"Dangerous Waters". Frank and Joe are driving along a slow, uncrowded, unobstructed city road, discussing the apparent conclusion of their case, when they suddenly figure out who the real villain is. Cue Frank simultaneously gunning the engine while spinning the car around, and even though there was no other car or traffic on the street, Frank still wipes out an innocent fruit cart that had been several car lengths behind him and well out out of the way on the sidewalk. Yes. Frank deliberately steers the car off the road, over the curb, and onto the sidewalk to take out the evil fruit cart.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_d500b978	comment	Adaptational Wimp: Conversely, this was applied to the Hardys, though it's downplayed since, even in the books—where Frank and Joe have at least some level of hand-to-hand combat skills and frequently end up in physical skirmishes with the bad guys—they only sometimes win these fights, and other times they're overpowered and captured or just try to run away from the get-go. Here, neither Frank nor Joe have much, if any, fighting abilities, and are usually cowed by much more physically intimidating bad guys without even trying to put up a fight. The few times they do, it's usually for just long enough until they get the chance to run away. George in the books is the most fearless of her friends, and is a tomboy who frequently defends the girls with her fighting skills if needed. This George doesn't have any fighting skills whatsoever, and is a Cowardly Lion.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_e022585	comment	Television Geography: The episode "Voodoo Doll" is just painful. Despite having a stock footage opening shot of the real Bourbon Street in New Orleans during Mardi Gras...the Hollywood backlot not only didn't bother to make buildings that looked like New Orleans, but the ep also refers to addresses that don't exist and has the Hardys wandering through a wide, spacious, bury-them-below-ground cemetery...never mind that cemeteries in NOLA in the Quarter are all bury-them-above-ground due to the high water table and jammed-packed. And we won't go into the total lack of any believable accents (What are LAPD doing in NOLA?) and black people in general. "Creatures Who Came On Sunday" has the hills of southern California substituting for the "mountains" of New Mexico. Um... "The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Meet Dracula" shows the correct stock footage shots of Dracula's Castle (there's actually several, but they use Poenari Castle in Romania)...but then show people driving cars right up to the castle entrance for a major rock festival. In reality, the castle is only accessible by climbing a long, narrow, zig-zaggy staircase up the wooded mountain. "Mystery of the African Safari" has Kenya, Africa looking amazingly like the San Diego Zoo; the episode was shot in the zoo, uses the zoo's boat ride, and even uses stock footage of the monkey exhibit as "wild monkeys".

All through first & second seasons, the cops never accepted the Hardys' help without question and often gave them a good deal of scorn over being meddling bystanders, up to and including tossing them in jail. Nancy Drew's amateur status is questionable, as she often implies that she's working for her father as part of his attorney's office. However, she does take on a number of mysteries outside of her father's caseload and without his help.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License – Geography: "Mystery of King Tut's Tomb" states that the Hardy Boys are driving down to meet their father in Kenya — from Cairo, in Egypt, and the brothers talk as if it's just a small jaunt. That's a trip of over two thousand miles, which is at least an 8-day road trip, in a little beat-up VW microbus, through rather inhospitable terrain, little to no tourist facilities, and through countries that — at the time — were hostile towards the US. "Creatures Who Came On Sunday" has the Hardys driving from Massachusetts to New Mexico, just to help a friend, while supposedly en route to Las Vegas. That's at least a 5 day road trip, but comments from Joe during the episode make it seem as if the Hardys have only been on the road a day or so. Then they start talking as if Las Vegas is just a short distance away, when it's easily a 10-hour drive. And we won't mention that Frank's using a map of Montana to get through New Mexico & that the so-called mountains of New Mexico look a lot like southern California. In "Mystery of the African Safari", Kenya looks a lot like the San Diego Zoo. Its wild monkeys apparently even play on man-made monkey-gyms in the wild. All the so-called "Kenya" scenes were shot at the San Diego Zoo, using the zoo's "safari" section for supposed bush shots.

"The Strange Fate of Flight 608": The Big Bad is about to force the Hardy Boys and his own two accomplices to back off a cliff at gunpoint and fall to their deaths so he can Make It Look Like an Accident when the boys' friend Beverly, who earlier noticed they were missing, fires off her flare gun behind the bad guy to distract him long enough for the boys to overpower him. "Acapulco Spies": The boys show up to rescue their dad and the Girl of the Week just as the Evil Former Friend of Fenton's is about to interrogate them for information, even locking the man in his own cell for good measure. "Sole Survivor": Joe and his Girl of the Week friend Kim escape from where the bad guys left them tied up and get to the rendezvous point in time to stop the assassins from murdering Frank, Fenton, their agent friend, and the scientist they're helping defect, with Joe tackling one who's about to shoot them and Kim stopping another from going for his gun.

They were all then bled dry for those 20 years thanks to someone blackmailing them about the murder; each of them assumed one of the other four was the blackmailer. It turns out that the man didn't actually die, woke up later, and secretly escaped from where they'd hidden his "corpse", and he was the one who blackmailed them all about supposedly "killing" him. In "The Mystery of the Solid Gold Kicker", the villains trick a football kicker into thinking he killed a woman (who is actually working with them) by drugging him and staging a scene to make it look like he drank too much at the party that evening and killed her in self-defense during a drunken argument, even later making a fake grave for her at the cemetery. They then use this to try to blackmail him into throwing the championship football game. The very-alive woman watches the game in disguise from the stands along with her accomplices.

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries / int_fb724048	comment	Real After All: Poor Joe got the brunt of this. "Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula": In the episode, the Hardy Boys suspect a man of being Dracula, but this is apparently dis-proven. At the end, the villain is in handcuffs and standing in front of a mirror, and Joe Hardy notices that the villain has no reflection, while the other characters conveniently not look at the mirror. The villain is taken away by the cops before Joe can get anyone else to notice. "House on Possessed Hill": The Hardy Boys have supposedly dis-proven a haunted house. Final scene is the brothers driving by the house in their van; Frank is giving logical common-sense explanations for all the haunted phenomena. Cue Joe looking towards the house just as they drive away, in time to see a ghostly figure walk out of the house...which disappears when Frank stops the van to look. "The Creatures Who Came on Sunday" features supposed flying saucers that have abducted a woman's boyfriend. When the villains are caught and it turns out that said saucers are just helicopters and part of a Witness Protection Program, the Hardys are trying to joke with the local sheriff and the Feds about the "aliens", and the officials clam up, with serious we're-not-talking-about-this faces, implying heavily that yup, guess what... "Voodoo Doll" has the main villain use "real" voodoo and magic to turn into a snake at the end of the show — naturally, Joe's the only one who sees it, but still somehow manages to convince the cops that he should be taken seriously. Subverted in "Strange Fate of Flight 608". The Hardy Boys are taking a plane home that will be flying directly through the infamous Bermuda Triangle. A new stewardess freaks out over it; naturally, Joe believes in the Triangle and starts to freak as well, while Frank blows it off with his usual "there's scientific explanations" line. Then all the male pilots get sick and fall unconscious, leaving Frank (a private-licensed pilot) to fly the plane through a hurricane, unable to radio-contact any help, and crashing it into the ocean near a deserted island...then it's revealed that nope, nothing to do with the Bermuda Triangle, the pilots were only poisoned by diamond smugglers and the island is within a day's cruise of civilization. Psych! Even Nancy Drew had one: "Will The Real Santa Claus Please Stand Up" has Nancy trying to save an old man accused of theft. Said gentleman claims to be Santa Claus and is assumed to not be playing with a full deck, until the very end...
