Sonny Spoon (1988) There was yet another long gap before we saw another Black lead in a detective series. Part of the reason was that the one-man detective shows of the 70s gave way to more ensemble casts in the 80s (which I’ll talk about later). However, one standout show featuring a Black lead as the titular character was Sonny Spoon.
Sonny Spoon starred Mario Van Peebles as a hip, young private eye. It was yet another short-lived series that ran on NBC from February 12 to December 16, 1988, and a total of 15 episodes were produced.
