The Hendersons, an upwardly mobile Seattle family, bring home what they believe to be a dead Bigfoot. But he has only been wounded by a hunter, and The Hendersons offer the creature who they come to call Harry a temporary home until he recovers his health.

The Harry and the Hendersons first-run syndicated television series, based on the 1987 Amblin Entertainment feature film of the same name, ran for three seasons. It starred Bruce Davison, Molly Cheek, Zachary Bostrom, and Carol-Ann Merrill as the Hendersons, and saw the return of Kevin Peter Hall as Harry (for the first season) from the feature film.

Once again, Harry was designed and brought to life by the talents of Academy Award-winning effects maestro Rick Baker (Men in Black). The half-hour situation comedy was executive produced by Lin Oliver for Amblin Television, in association with Universal Television and Fox Television Stations.
