With the second season came some serious story and character changes. For Nancy Drew, the Ned Nickerson character was also changed in the books, he was Nancy's boyfriend, who attended college, and was the football quarterback. The Callie Shaw character was changed drastically from the books, where she is Frank's girlfriend. The Hardy boys' friend Chet Morton only had a brief role in the series. Nancy solves mysteries with her best friend, George Fayne, and her father's paralegal, Ned Nickerson, with whom she shares an ambiguous romantic connection. The two live in the fictional town of River Heights, New Jersey. Nancy Drew is an amateur sleuth - although she prefers the term "part time investigator" - and daughter of defense attorney Carson Drew. The boys are frequently assisted by their friend, Callie Shaw, who does part-time work for their father.
The boys live with their famous father, Fenton Hardy, a private detective who spent two decades with the New York Police Department, and his sister, the boys' spinster aunt Gertrude. The titular "Hardy Boys", Frank and Joe, are brothers and amateur detectives from the fictional city of Bayport, Massachusetts.
NANCY DREW TV SHOW SERIES
As the series progressed, the two storylines crossed over, and the Nancy Drew character was drastically reduced, and then dropped, in favor of the Hardys. The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries was unusual in that it often dealt with the characters individually the series alternated between episodes that featured the Hardys and episodes featuring Drew in its first season. Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy starred as amateur detective brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, respectively, while Pamela Sue Martin (later Janet Louise Johnson) starred as amateur sleuth Nancy Drew. Larson from Universal Television for ABC. The series, which ran from January 30, 1977, to January 14, 1979, was produced by Glen A. The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (re-titled The Hardy Boys for season three) is an American television mystery series based on the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew juvenile novels. Good points though for Nancy, who really doesn't hesitate to confront everything and everyone instead of the typical investigator that just keep things for themselves until something bad happens."The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries Theme" The show has good intentions with their very diverse cast but most of them still fail to be memorable and they also evolved too fast making them even less relatable. That said, once the investigation resolved the show, in its last 15minutes, fully embraced the supernatural part with some really chilling scenes. The show should have focused on keeping it real as the investigation was the best part with some clever (if not overdramatic) twists. If you remove all the supernatural things the story would still make sense, it would even make more sense as despite the apparitions of demons, new dimensions and sea witches' the characters are unconvincingly calm (ok a little nervous but not "ghost are real nervous"). The big issue of Nancy Drew, outside the usual flaws of a teenager tv show, is that they go for two different types of show and they can't find a middle ground. Much better comparing to a lot of CW shows I've watched. It's different, there's supernatural present. So if you watch the show, don't go in expecting Nancy and the cousins George and Bess.
People are calling Nancy very selfish for putting herself first when she finds out that Carson isn't her dad but how would you act? Honestly. And even though they're relationship is slightly rocky, it's realistic.
There are still certain bits and pieces that are there in the characters like George being a tomboy, Bess being a bit of a fashionista and Ned being the most helpful, kind guy ever.
It was a town of white folk(not trying to be disrespectful) so this show definitely gets points for the diversity. I am and always will be a die hard Nancy drew fan but always found something missing in the books. I honestly like the show because even thought there's no connection to the books, there's more diversity. It's definitely not at all connected to the books apart from the character names.
