Lee "Scarecrow" Stetson & Amanda King

This delightful spy series ran on CBS in the 1980's and still enjoys a big fan following today. Unlike some couples this on got married and retained the "shippiness" by having Lee & Amanda choose to keep their marriage a secret from their friends and family.

She was a divorced suburban mother of two. He was a dashing international spy. Who would have ever thought that they would be able to work together, much less fall in love and marry? We did of course.

Along with Laura & Remington, Lee and Amanda form the cornerstone of the Friends & Lovers Universe.
