More than 40 years after Hart to Hart aired its final episode, fans still smile when they think back on the beloved series. For many viewers, watching Jonathan and Jennifer Hart solve mysteries each week became a family tradition they still remember fondly today.
The series followed wealthy married couple Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, played by Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers. The couple’s glamorous lifestyle somehow always landed them in the middle of mysteries.
“I remember watching this every Tuesday night. My friends would watch it also. We would always talk about it the next day. Great show,” a fan on Reddit reminisced.
“This was a rather cheesy show, but I found myself watching it every week. They played well off each other,” someone else noted.
All of these years later, more than 40 years after the finale aired, Wagner and Powers have remained friends.
In February, Powers took to her Facebook page to post a birthday message for her former TV husband. She shared a photo showing her with Wagner and wrote, “Celebrating another birthday for RJ, may there be many more.”

Hundreds of fans commented on Powers’ post.
One person pleaded, “Can’t we just have one more Hart to Hart special tv show?”
Another commenter added, “How I have loved you both since I was 13 years old. Is it strange that a 13 year old would be so crazy over Hart to Hart? I loved the characters’ relationship and was blessed to end up with a marriage like that.”
More than four decades after the finale aired, many fans still remember gathering with family to watch Hart to Hart every week. For viewers who loved Jonathan and Jennifer’s chemistry, the series remains the kind of comfort TV they wish still existed.
