Do you remember "Hennesey"..the series about the Navy doctor..it first gave us the GORGEOUS Abby Dalton, and of course, the basset hound "Cleo"
Lots of possible actors to play the two starring roles..
Then there's "Barney Miller"....the greatest cop show ever made..Jack Soo was da man...
Actually, the basset hound Cleo, was from Jackie Cooper’s previous series, “The People’s Choice,” which co-starred Patricia Breslin. “Hennesey” came a year or two later.
