"Baretta" TV show.
Robert Blake was coolness personified in the title role. As the streetwise cop Tony Baretta, he projected a combination of style and grit. This TV show has been relegated to near obscurity and is hard to locate.

The dealer had made two enemies -- a rival dealer and his hired gunman. They ambush the dealer and gun him down. Rich saw the whole thing. Seizing the opportunity, he picks up the hit gun and stands over the corpse with it until the cops arrive. Suddenly Rich becomes a neighborhood hero.

Figuring he will crack sooner or later when his celebrity wears off and he faces a murder rap, the gunmen bail him out of jail and try to waste him in a drive-by shooting. That fails, but the killers are sure to try again. Now Rich must confront his own passive lifestyle and try to do something about the murderers before they get him.

Baretta gradually gains respect for the dog -- but then both of them start ducking rifle bullets from an aging Mob hit man. Fortunately, the hired gun is getting so old he can't shoot straight, but it just makes him more and more determined to kill. Finally Rooster (who's carrying drugs on him and is sniffed out) tells Baretta there is a murder contract on the dog rather than on Baretta. The young-Turk mob capo tries to fire the hit man, but when Baretta and Kelly invade the warehouse, the hit man picks up his rifle again and vows to kill the entire group if they interfere with the hit.

When his bosses in Washington pooh-pooh that idea, he creates a "supercop" with the name in the episode's title and casts himself in the role (Robert Blake used the same pseudonym, with a slight change of spelling, for his part as executive producer of "Hell Town" eight years later). "Dokker" then assigns himself to a case where an Algerian smuggler was murdered for the fortune in emeralds he was carrying. The victim told Billy, while checking into his hotel, that he was going to meet someone, which makes it clear that he knew his killer. But which of several possible suspects could it be? The phony G-man proves surprisingly resourceful as he bumbles through sifting out the clues.

They know the money is hot and make arrangements with a man named Trudgeon to launder it, passing it through channels and returning $50,000 in clean cash to them. Meanwhile, back at Baretta's apartment, he and Billy are busy making stew when their pimp buddy Rooster turns up -- in a business suit? The reason comes very quickly with a trilled "Oh Quen-tinnn! Where are youuuuu?" Rooster is posing as a legitimate businessman to impress his cousin and her friend, both of whom have come to Los Angeles to work as dance instructors. But the man they work for is Trudgeon the money launderer. Trudgeon now has the $50,000 in legit money, but he's feeling the heat. So he gives the money, wrapped in a bundle, to Rooster's cousin for safekeeping -- and she smuggles it out and keeps it. In the ensuing fight with the thugs, Trudgeon is gunned down and the thugs start hunting for "their" money. Eventually they kidnap one of the girls, leading Rooster to don drag and pose as his own cousin.
