Synopsis

Stu Bailey and Jeff Spencer are the wisecracking, womanizing private-detective heroes of this Warner Brothers drama. They work out of an office located at 77 Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, California, right next door to a snazzy restaurant where Kookie works as a valet. The finger-snapping, slang-talking Kookie occasionally helps Stu and Jeff with their cases, and eventually becomes a full-fledged… member of the detective agency. Rex Randolph and J.R. Hale also join the firm, and Suzanne is their leggy secretary.

A 25-minute pilot presentation was shot for upfronts in the spring of 1997, but despite a few attempts to modify and finalize it for broadcast in 1997â€“1998, the project never made it past the testing stage.

The opposition to the redevelopment of the area was known as "Save Our Strip" or "SOS" and was spearheaded by former 77 Sunset Strip semiregular Gigi Verone.

No number 77 exists on the Strip, as all Sunset Boulevard addresses in the area have four digits.

At one time, 43 episodes had been removed from syndication for various legal reasons, but 13 of these can now be seen as reruns.

As of 2017, the syndication package aired on Me-TV contained every original episode.

Thirty-one years after the series left the air, Warner Bros. proposed a modern revival of 77 Sunset Strip, which was to be the first hour-long drama series to air on the new WB Television Network.
