Summary of Spenser for Hire Seasons 1-3 DVD Box Set
Spenser lived in Boston and, like many detectives on TV, drove distinctive cars; at first a mildly-worn ivy green '66 Ford Mustang (possibly a nod to Steve McQueen's Mustang in Bullitt) which gets destroyed a few episodes into the second season, then a brand new 1987 Mustang 5.0 GT, then after 5 or so episodes trades it for a beautifully restored 1966 Mustang GT. Spenser carried a Beretta 9mm in the show; in the books it was actually a Browning hi-power 9mm pistol as his weapon of choice along with a 38 cal. snub nose revolver for casual carry. Spenser used to be on the police force and occasionally goes to them for help,Spenser for Hire Season 3 DVD as they sometimes rely on him for help. Hardnose Lt. Quirk seems to view him as a necessary evil while Sgt. Belson (portrayed as a bit of a slob) takes Spenser as he comes. Ms. Silverman reveals she is pregnant with Spenser's child in "Children of the Tempest Storm". The word abortion comes up when talking with her doctor, and is discussed throughout the episode, though often not using the word.
