Frank Lupo dies at 66 who was 1980's TV co-creator of 'Hunter' & 'Wiseguy'

Frank Lupo was the partner of Stephen J. Cannell. They created several popular 1980's TV shows including, "The A Team" (1983-87), "Riptide" (1984-86), "Hunter" (1984-1991) & "Wiseguy" (1987-1990).

It is hard to believe that these TV shows were produced 40 years ago. Time has flown by so fast. You can watch these shows on YouTube in 2021 posted by fans.

My favorite is "Hunter" that came on every Saturday night on NBC. It was known at the time to be the toughest TV show on any network. It was because of the action which seems tame compared with today's standards. 

Sgt. Rick Hunter (Fred Dryer) and Sgt. Dee Dee McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) had great chemistry.... That chemistry lasted for six TV seasons until Stepfanie left the show. The 7th and final season lost its' mojo.

Frank Lupo co-created some good television. RIP....

A TV fan uploaded the "Hunter" season 6 Introduction. It is my favorite.


("The A Team." 5 TV seasons on NBC.).
