Can anyone remember an American series from the 90's or early 00's which was about a guy inheriting his fathers company and becoming a millionaire playboy/CEO. He normally had a female bodyguard and his best childhood friend (who now works for him) in tow and would get in scrapes/fight crime every week.
I remember it being really cheesy fun (and probably short lived) but can't for the life of me remember the title and can't find it via google.
It reminded me a bit of Raven if that helps.
Anyone?

Sounds a little like Matt Houston?

That's the one.
Cheers, was driving me nuts. Doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Shame as I'd quiet like to see it again.

I used to love Matt Houston, bet it'd probably be crap if I tried it now!

It depends how you define "anywhere" and whether the word "anywhere" is followed by the word "legal".:)

Nope. Nothing dodgy either (barring foreign language/subs).

There seems to be a 2008 French movie, but the series is out there......

I had another look but can still only find them with Dutch subtitles plastered over half the screen. Really bugs me when you want to buy a series but it's not on dvd.
