Every week David Jansen completely outwitted this dumb cop. Hell, even Girard's boss kept him out of the office buy sending him all over God's half-acre and around the entire country to catch Dr Kimball.

By the way, I have a David Jansen Memorial link on my homepage. Girard would have been proud.

In all seriousness, RIP Barry Morse.

The Incredible Hulk TV show used this plot device as well with a reporter instead of a cop. Both were inspired by Les Miserables.
