NERO WOLFE TV SERIES with William Conrad 

Nero Wolfe is a television series based on the characters in Rex Stout's 
classic series of detective stories that aired in 1981. William Conrad fills 
the role of the detective genius Nero Wolfe, and Lee Horsley is his 
assistant Archie Goodwin. Produced by Paramount Television, the 
series updates the world of Nero Wolfe to contemporary New York City 
and draws few of its stories from the Stout originals.


Plot

Nero Wolfe (William Conrad) enjoys a life of refined self-indulgence 
in his comfortable Manhattan brownstone — reading, dining, spending 
regular hours in his rooftop plant rooms, and only reluctantly involving 
himself in the detection of crime. Famously sedentary, Wolfe relies on 
his legman Archie Goodwin (Lee Horsley) to collect the clues and the 
suspects in any case at hand, while he spars with his live-in chef 
Fritz Brenner (George Voskovec) and bickers with his resident orchid 
nurse Theodore Horstmann (Robert Coote, in his final role). Often 
assisted by freelance detective Saul Panzer (George Wyner), Wolfe 
and Archie customarily gather the suspects in Wolfe's office and present 
the solution to the exasperated Inspector Cramer (Allan Miller) of 
Manhattan Homicide.
