Shaft is a series of TV movies that aired along with Hawkins during 1973-74 television season on The New CBS Tuesday Night Movies. The series was based on three films beginning with Shaft, and starring Richard Roundtree as private detective John Shaft.
Because it was aired on over-the-air television, CBS felt that the character needed to be toned down. Now instead of working against the police, he worked with them. The series rotated with Hawkins starring James Stewart as a country lawyer who investigates his cases, similarly to his earlier film Anatomy of a Murder. Contemporary analysts suggested that since the two shows appealed to vastly different audience bases, alternating them only served to confuse fans of both series, giving neither one the time to build up a large viewership.
The series tells of cases based on real events, which show how a woman is able to be at peace and end her suffering in the most lethal way, killing. In each episode, the protagonist tries to find a way to get rid of her problems, motivated by love, revenge, pain, desperation, resentment, contempt, hatred, beatings, addiction or frustration.
