''The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries'' (retitled ''The Hardy Boys Mysteries'' for season three) is a television series which aired for three seasons on ABC. The series starred Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy as amateur sleuth brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, respectively, and Pamela Sue Martin (later Janet Louise Johnson) as detective Nancy Drew. ''The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries'' was unusual in that it often dealt with the characters individually, in an almost anthological style. That is, some episodes featured only the Hardy Boys and others only Nancy Drew. ==Story== The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew were both successful book publishing franchises, owned by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing group which owned many successful children's book lines. The Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe, are brother amateur detectives.〔At no point does the series state the ages of the brothers. Chief Collig refers to them as "underage" in "Mystery of the Jade Kwan Yin" & the implication in that episode is that they're still in high school, but no age is specifically mentioned. The books at the time have the brothers as one year apart.〕 The two boys live in the fictional city of Bayport, Massachusetts (a change from the book series, which sets Bayport in the state of New York) 〔As stated in the episodes "Mystery of the Jade Kwan Yin", "House on Possessed Hill", and "Mystery of Witches Hollow", Bayport is in Massachusetts. The book series is set in NY, but the location was changed for the TV show.〕 with their famous father, Fenton Hardy, a private detective who spent "twenty years" with the New York Police Department.〔Stated in the episode "Mystery of the Haunted House"〕 In addition to the Hardy Boys, their stories feature two other characters with some regularity: Aunt Gertrude and a platonic female friend of the boys, Callie Shaw, who also does part-time work for their father. The only other character who played a major part of the Hardy Boys books, Chet Morton, appeared only briefly in the series. Nancy Drew is the amateur sleuth — she prefers the term "part time investigator" — daughter of attorney Carson Drew. She lives with her father, Carson, in the fictional town of River Heights, New Jersey (another change from the book series, which sets River Heights outside of Chicago).〔Location changed for the TV show. The book series sets River Heights near Chicago, IL, but the TV show sets it near NYC, New York. No specific state is mentioned.〕 In addition to Nancy Drew and her father, her stories feature two other characters with some regularity: her close friend Georgia (George) Fayne and Ned Nickerson. Another prominent character from the Nancy Drew books, Bess Marvin, made only two appearances in two-part episodes. In the novels on which the series was based, Nickerson is explicitly identified as Nancy's boyfriend. In the television series, their romance is more ambiguous. In the first season, Nickerson is a law student who does part-time work for Carson Drew. In the second season, Nickerson is re-introduced, with no reference to his earlier appearances, in a scene, in which he is apparently introduced to Nancy Drew for the first time, as a young hotshot lawyer from the city District Attorney's office. The TV show marked the first time that the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew met and worked together as they had never done so in the context of the books at that time (up to that point). In the first episode of the second season ("The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula") they meet in a hotel room in Europe. The boys, tracking their father, who was working on a case with Nancy Drew. Though the relationship between Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys is mostly platonic, there is a heavily-implied romance between Nancy Drew and Frank Hardy. In one episode ("Mystery of the Hollywood Phantom") they kiss briefly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
