1993 Fox. "The Impostor." Underrated quirky cop comedy. Ron Eldard, Giancarlo Esposito, Chris Mulkey, Tony Plana, Brian Doyle-Murray, Jack Hallett. Guest stars are Laura Innes, David Wiley, Allan Wasserman. This was another one of those early lucky random sitcom finds. There are several episodes on Youtube. I always respond well to the quirky shows that nobody watched.
A con man has hit Bakersfield and he's a one man con man crime wave. Or is it con people? Laura Innes is the police sketch artist who only sketches celebrities to be true to her art. Also Glen Campbell is in town and this is the week everyone is evaluated by the police psychologist. "Not since my son took his first step have I seen someone so brave. So manly." Now we can heal. After a lineup the perp is narrowed to somewhere between Cruise and young Sinatra.
Bakersfield P.D. is hilarious. A real find. Lots of old 70s cop show references. Unfortunately only six of the seventeen episodes made are available.
