1977 CBS. "The Fallen Idol." Claude Akins, Jerry Reed Nashville cop show. In one episode I watched before he was digging a bream fishing pond, because he lives on a big spread. There are two episodes available now on Youtube, this one and the pilot. With Lucille Benson and Charley Pride. Only four aired. Guest stars Chet Atkins, Johnny Paycheck, Dawn Gable, Lonny Chapman.

Lt. Stoney Huff investigates a veteran cop's (Lonny Chapman) possible involvement with a crime ring. "The department won't put up with hot dogs and that's what you've become." He shoots a couple of people in the line of duty but is it really? There is also that half of a $1000 dollar bill he gets in an envelope.

I've now watched two of the four episodes of Nashville 99. This is a fun show. Full of country stars and local talent. Very 70s. Fun to see Jerry Reed doing cop TV.

All episodes have not been seen since their initial run. Episode prints of the show do belong in some private collections. YouTube has one of the episodes available.
