Early career


Born July 27, 1938 in Iola, Kansas, Hargrove received an Emmy nomination in his early 20s as a writer for a short-lived NBC series with Bob Newhart, The Bob Newhart Show, not to be confused with the 1972–78 CBS series of the same name.

After U.N.C.L.E., he worked at Universal Studios' television section on shows like It Takes a Thief, The Name of the Game and Columbo. He scripted the second Columbo pilot, "Ransom for a Dead Man", and was producer for the second, third and fourth seasons. More recently, he has worked for Viacom Productions and Paramount Network Television, producing the shows Matlock on NBC and ABC from 1986 to 1995, Jake and the Fatman on CBS from 1987 to 1992, and Diagnosis: Murder on CBS from 1993 to 2002.
