Line 10:
After the books were acquired by Simon & Schuster (which took control of Grosset & Dunlap in the 70s after a lawsuit), the series was continued as "Digests". Later on, the [[Darker and Edgier]] ''Casefiles'' series was added and ran concurrently with the Digests. Both series have since been discontinued, the ''Casefiles'' in 1998 and the Digests in 2005. The series has since continued under the ''Undercover Brothers'' subtitle, which reinvents the brothers as agents working for an all-teen secret agency; there is also a corresponding graphic novel series.
The Hardy Boys have also appeared on TV several times, originally courtesy of a serial running on the ''[[Mickey Mouse Club]]''. [[Hardy Boys-Nancy Drew Mysteries|They shared a show]] with [[Nancy Drew]] on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in [[The Seventies]], and had a series of their own, produced by [[Nelvana]], in the [[The Nineties]]. They also (whew!) had a 1969 [[Saturday Morning Cartoon]] series.
Definitely ''not'' to be confused with [[Matt Hardy|the]] [[Jeff Hardy|wrestlers]] of the same name.
They seem a bit prone to a [[Crossover]] with [[Nancy Drew]].

* [[Animated Adaptation]]: CBS had a cartoon version which ran 34 episodes from 1969-1971.
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
* [[Made of Iron]]: Joe, who takes most of the punishment due to him being the "athletic" one.
* [[The Meddling Kids Are Useless]]: Former [[Trope Namer]], due to the fact that in the early books, the Hardy brothers would often find out who did what, but at the same time the police were doing the same. Essentially, the had grand adventures but didn't affect much in the long run. This was later changed.
* [[Not Now, Kiddo]]: The Hardys met with this in a lot of the early books. Eventually, Chief Collig and Con Riley figured out they should probably listen to them once in a while...
* [[Odd Couple]]
