Tenspeed and Brown Shoe is an American detective comedy series originally broadcast by the ABC network between January and June 1980. The series was created by executive producer Stephen J. Cannell. Most of the show's creative staff (Cannell, Juanita Bartlett, Gordon T. Dawson) were veterans of the private detective series The Rockford Files, which concluded its run about two weeks before Tenspeed and Brown Shoe debuted.
