Under Cover (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under Cover is an American secret agent drama series that aired briefly in the spring of 1991.
The series starred Anthony John Denison and Linda Purl as Dylan and Kate Del'Amico, a husband and wife who share the same day job -- as spies for a fictional US intelligence agency.
Under Cover followed the couple's adventures as they attempted to balance the demands of a sometimes deadly profession while raising two children.
The series co-starred John Rhys-Davies as Flynn, the team's gadget man (analogous to James Bond's Q) who is also a deadly assassin.
Although well received by critics and launched with a high-rated made-for-TV movie, Under Cover was adversely affected by the outbreak of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. A two-part episode had been produced involving the Del'Amicos infiltrating Iraq in the wake of its invasion of Kuwait, and culminated with an American military strike on the country. The night the first episode was scheduled to air, real-life hostilities erupted. The two-part storyline was postponed indefinitely and the series itself was effectively cancelled. Following the end of the war, the series resumed for several more episodes, but it was soon officially cancelled. The postponed Iraq storyline was later broadcast as "filler".
