Bakersfield, P.D.an Episode Guide

|||||
aired from: Sep 1993 to: Aug 1994 | 17 eps | FOX | 30 min | stereo | closed captioned |
regulars:
A fish-out-of-water sitcom about a black police officer from Washington, D.C. who transfers to Bakersfield, California to find himself the first black cop on the decidedly odd small town force. Despite likable lead performances and a gently surreal style, it seemed too much like watered down Hill Street Blues and Hooperman to gather a following before its swift cancellation.
