== While the program's ridiculous premise (that no one would hire a woman private investigator) was necessary in the early shows,why bother continuing it after the first season? == Anybody observing what was happening would be able to determine that Laura was actually the "brains" of the operation and while the mid 80's were less progressive than current times, the thought that a woman could be extremely competent shouldn't have come as a "surprise" to most.

The show should have been a period piece set in the 1950s or even earlier. Well, had the show been set in the 1960s it would have still been a decent match, but even in the 70s it wouldn't have really fit the times. And even aside from the "no one would hire a woman private investigator" theme, the show had a noir-ish quality that practically screamed "30s, 40s, or 50s" anyway. * The premise was even more ridiculous in the first season because the agency had a male private detective, Murphy. He even impersonates Steele in one of the episodes. It would make a lot more sense if she said it was about the money, because surely the name "Remington Steele Detective Agency" attracts more classy, high-profile, high-paying clients than the more down-to-earth "Murphy Michaels Detective Agency" might.
