* AwesomeMcCoolName: One episode had the brothers chasing a computer hacker-turned-electronic bank robber who called himself "Anthrax Vermilion". Rick Simon off-handedly remarks that its a perfect "action hero name" as long as you don't think of the meaning (anthrax being a deadly disease, vermilion being a shade of the color red). It's subverted in the fact that it turns out that "Anthrax Vermilion" is a nine-year-old boy played by Robbie Rist.

* FalseReassurance: Rick is infiltrating a pagan witch coven on a job when the leader of the coven says he's discovered that Rick is a P.I. Rather than try to deny it, Rick says he is and starts handing out business cards, saying it's his day job. The woman who recruited Rick to investigate the coven points out that they come from all walks of life, so why not a P.I.? It works on most of the coven but the leader is still suspicious. [[spoiler: As he's the bad guy, he has ample reason to be.]]

** Happens three times in the first season episode "Ashes to Ashes, and None Too Soon". A woman hires the brothers to serve a man with a subpoena, but the man isn't who she said he was. They soon get a visit from a woman claiming to be the real man's ex-wife; she's not who she claims to be, either. Everybody ends up being investigated by a Customs agent, who is who he says he is, but has something going on the side.

Added DiffLines:
Enjoyable 80s detective drama set in San Diego, California. Brothers Rick and A.J. Simon are partners in a private detective agency. They are polar opposites: bad boy Rick is a street-smart former Marine and Vietnam vet who has friends in low places and a love for cheap pleasures; golden boy A.J. is a book-smart college graduate, a former Vietnam protester (he wanted his big brother to come home safe) whose tastes run to the more upscale. Rick drives a beat-up old pickup truck, adheres to a casual dress code (including his ever-present cowboy hat) and lives on a boat parked on a trailer in A.J.'s yard with his dog Marlowe; A.J. drives a series of classic sports cars, has a yuppie wardrobe and lives in a tasteful little house near the water.
