The Last Precinct aired from April until May 1986 on NBC.
Adam 12 was never like this. The title The Last Precinct reffered to both the location of Los Angeles' 56th precinct ( on the jurisdictional border between the L.A.P.D. and the county sheriff's office) and the fact that it was the dumping ground for all the eccentrics and misfits of the L.A.P.D.
In charge of the precinct, more or less, was straight-arrow Capt. Rick Wright ( Adam West), who often seemed oblivious to the goings-on around him. His officers included handsome Price Pascall (Jonathan Perpich), the closest the 56th had to an effective, relatively normal policeman; Raid(Rick Ducommon), a bumbling overweight motorcycle cop; Rina ( Lucy Lee Flippin),the records clerk with the hots for Raid; Night Train (Ernie Hudson), a black plainclothes officer who dressed like a pimp; Mel Brubaker(Randi Brooks), a sexy mini-skirt officer who had been a man before his/her sex-change operation; King( Pete Willcox), an Elvis Presley impersonator; Alphabet (Vijay Amritraj), a stereotypically polite Indian exchange officer; and over-the-hill veterans Butch and Sundance ( Keenan Wynn in his final role and Hank Rolike).
The 56th was always in competition with the nearby county sheriff's office, run by Lt. Hobbs( Wings Hauser) and his nazi-like assistant Sgt. Haggerty ( Yana Nirvana).
The pilot fot the series was telecast on January 26, 1986, immediately following Super Bowl XX; seven regular episodes were aired beginning in April.
The Last Precinct was a Stephen J. Cannell Production.
