Name the show: "cause when they met, it was murder"

Last updated: August 28, 2025

TV shows love a memorable hook, and nothing catches a viewer's eye more than murder and love. So when you mix the two, there's a recipe for a successful series. Which TV show opener had the line "'cause when they met, it was murder"?

Correct Answer: Hart to Hart

Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers were the on-screen power couple behind TV's "Hart to Hart" which ran for five seasons and had eight TV movies. Alongside their loyal butler Max (played by Lionel Stander), the Harts spent their time and unlimited budget solving cases every week, frequently against police officers' pleas. Stander voiced every season of the show's intro, and (probably due to the grammar issues) it changed multiple times throughout the show's run. Early episodes used "'cause their hobby is — murder," before switching to "'cause when they meet... it's murder," and then finally settling on "'cause when they met, it was murder."
