But he seemed to bring his own trouble with him, as crime suddenly returned to a place that had seen very little of it the prior 20 years.

The theme song co-written by Earle Hagen and sung by Frankie Laine. The series ran for less than a year. TV Guide ranked the series number 47 on its TV Guide's 50 Worst Shows of All Time
