Fortune Hunter

Overview

Fortune Hunter is an American weekly series show on Fox Network in 1994, starring Mark Frankel as the super-spy Carlton Dial.

In the US, Fortune Hunter aired on Fox from 4 Sep 1994 to 2 Oct 1994. Of the 13 episodes produced, only five were presented to the North American audience. The decision to schedule the series immediately after football on Sundays was a factor in the dismissal of Sandy Grushow, president of Fox Entertainment, by chairman Rupert Murdoch.
