During the seven years this police drama screened, NBC changed the day and time the series was aired so many times that viewers found it difficult to remember when to watch the show.
The main character was Detective Sergeant Rick Hunter of the Los Angeles Police Department, who was played by former NFL star Fred Dryer.
Hunter’s successive LAPD partners were all attractive young women; Detective Sergeant Dee Dee McCall – the “brass cupcake” – (for six years) and then Detective Sergeant Joanne Malenski (for one year) and finally Sergeant Chris Novak.
Also appearing regularly in the series were James Whitmore Jr as Sergeant Bernie Terwilliger, Arthur Rosenberg as Captain Lester Cain, John Amos as Captain Dolan, Bruce Davison as Captain Wyler, Charles Hallahan as Captain Charlie Devane, John Shearin as Lt Ambrose Finn, Richard Beauchamp as Carlos, Garret Morris as Arnold ‘Sporty’ James, Perry Cook as Coroner Barney Udall, and Rudy Ramos as Reuben Garcia.
After six years in the homicide division of the LAPD Hunter was transferred to the city’s elite Metro Division, where he took on a wider variety of high-profile cases.
