Hunter is a police drama television series starring Fred Dryer as "Sgt. Rick Hunter" and Stepfanie Kramer as "Sgt. Dee Dee McCall", which ran on NBC from 1984 to 1991. However, Kramer left after the sixth season (1990) to pursue other acting and musical opportunities. The seventh season saw Hunter partnered with two different women officers. The titular character, Sgt. Rick Hunter, was a wily, physically imposing, and often rule-breaking homicide detective (badge# 089 in the early seasons, badge# 378 in later seasons) with the Los Angeles Police Department. The "Pilot" TV movie premiered on September 18, 1984, with the regular series starting 10 days later. The show ended on April 26, 1991, after seven seasons. There are a total of 153 episodes, spanning seven years (19841991) of the show's run.

Created by Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell, the show in its early episodes played as television's answer to Dirty Harry.[citation needed] Even after the show's violence was toned down during the second season in hopes of boosting ratings, Hunter and McCall still managed to resolve many cases by shooting the perpetrators dead.

The show's executive producer during the first season was Stephen J. Cannell, whose company produced the series.
