Robert Wagner was embroiled in a nasty legal battle with Aaron Spelling during this period, which the press dubbed "Angel-gate". The source of the scandal was that Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood were investors to the show Charlie's Angels; but they claimed to have evidence that Spelling took the money they contributed to Angels as part of a business deal, and actually spent it elsewhere; likely on other shows in his cannon (Family, Love Boat, and Fantasy Island) and other places not appropriate to their agreement. The suit wound up being settled. Suspiciously, Wagner was cast in Hart to Hart, Spelling's new detective drama. People have speculated this casting choice was just an olive branch, or maybe a subtle method of bribery, to get Wagner to drop the suit, which he did.
