Description: In the second of our two birthday honorings this week, we celebrate what would have been Kevin Dobson's 83rd Birthday by looking at this short-lived 1981 CBS cop show. Kevin Dobson plays a widowed single father who moves from the NYPD to San Francisco. The ratings for this wouldn't be good, but better things would come for Kevin in the following year thanks to a cast opening on another CBS drama.
