Sir Stewart Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 The only thing I remember from the show was at the end of the end credits, the guy tapped the light fixture above him as he walked away down the hall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I often say "Han a Han a Hanlet" - and no-one knows what I am talking about. Carter Country was an American television sitcom, that ran from 1977 to 1979 on ABC. It was set in a small town in Georgia (presumably near the part of the state from which U.S. President Jimmy Carter hailed, thus the title), and featured Victor French as white police chief Roy Mobey and Kene Holliday as city-bred, college-educated, African-American Sergeant Curtis Baker. It also featured Richard Paul as Mayor Burnside (who coined a minor catchphrase with his manic, "Handle it, handle it!"), Harvey Vernon as officer Jasper DeWitt, and Barbara Cason as town employee Cloris Phebus. Additional comic support was provided by Texas-born actor Guich Koock who played the part of goofy deputy Harley. Vernee Watson rounded out the cast as the mayor's secretary. The plot was centered around the stereotypical racism of the Deep South. The show was often characterized as being an irreverent, comedic version of the movie In the Heat of the Night.

ction Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 I forgot the "handle it, handle it!" bit until I read a-man's post. Seriously, first season, DVD, when? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I think it may have been on TV Land a few years ago. There seems to be no more old shows on TV, now all you see is new shows being re-ran on TBS or whatever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticeyeball Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I've watched alot of tv in my day. A real lot. I gotta say I've never seen or heard of this show. If that's supposed to be the cast up above there, I've never seen that group of people before in my life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
