Mann & Machine

Mann & Machine originally aired on NBC from April 5, 1992 to July 14, 1992. Starring David Andrews as Detective Bobby Mann and Yancy Butler as beautiful Sergeant Eve Edison, the man and android detectives could not bring enough high-tech to last more than a mid-season replacement.

Mann & Machine consisted of one one-hour pilot and eight one- hour episodes, and has been re-run on the Sci-Fi Channel's Sci-Fi Series Collection.
