In this made-for-TV whodunit, funnyman Bill Cosby shifts gears as Guy Hanks, a retired New York Police forensics investigator. Though Hanks' girlfriend Barbara (Lynn Whitfield) and smart-mouthed housekeeper Angie (Rita Moreno) do their best to keep Guy busy, his close friend and former boss Sully (James Naughton) lures Guy back into action when he runs across a tough case he just can't crack. The Cosby Mysteries was the pilot film for the short-lived TV series of the same name, which ran for 20 episodes between September, 1994 and April 1995.
