Honey West is an American crime drama television series that aired on ABC from September 17, 1965, to April 8, 1966, as an entry in the 1965–1966 television season. Based upon a series of novels that had launched in 1957, the series starred Anne Francis as female private detective Honey West and John Ericson as her partner Sam Bolt. It was the first network TV series whose title was the name of a female lead character (the syndicated Annie Oakley had a similar distinction in its category a decade earlier).
Thirty half-hour episodes were produced. Historians today sometimes call the show "ground-breaking" due its portrayal of the female lead.
