    1 9 8 1 – 1 9 8 2 (USA)

    Following the untimely death of his young wife, NYPD plainclothes detective Jack Shannon (Kevin Dobson) moved to San Francisco with his ten-year-old son, Johnny (Charlie Fields).

    The move provided a change of scenery to help him get over his grief and, since his wife’s parents – Paul (Al Ruscio) and Irene (Karen Kondazian) Locatelli – lived there, it gave him some help raising Johnny too.

    With the help of some of his former superiors in New York, Jack obtained a position with the SFPD Special Squad of Investigators.

    Norm White (William Lucking) was his partner and Lt. Moraga (Michael Durrell) was their immediate superior.

    This is what they promised us when I was a kid. What happened? 

All I have is 700 channels of rubbish on the TV in High Def, TikTok, Facebook and a phone I can take photographs with . . .
