Tenafly is a crime-drama series starring James McEachin that was part of The NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie wheel for the 1973-74 season.[1] It was created by Richard Levinson and William Link, the creators of popular mystery television shows such as Columbo and Murder, She Wrote.[2] It was one of the first television series that season to feature an African-American character as the protagonist (the other being Shaft starring Richard Roundtree).[3] Due to low ratings, NBC removed Tenafly from the wheel when it moved the mid-week Mystery Movie block to Tuesdays in January 1974 (the Mystery Movie block itself would only air on Sundays starting in the 1974-75 season).[1]
