Characters from best to worst.
Now this is not a depiction of the actors performing, but how they were written.
1. Chief Gillespie, good sold person, except he picks on Parker too much, lol.
2. Bubba, good Ole boy with a sense of loyalty and sensitivity.
3. Aunt Rudda, just love her common sense.
4. Virgil, 1st 2 seasons, held a Sidney Poitier style, went down from there.
5. Lonnie, best cop on the force.
6.Parker, Lovable and goofy. Could show his cops when needed.
7. Leanne Corbin. Solid female character that held her own with the men, great singer.
8. Harriet, did not like. Blind to her stupid son and wishy washy on how Sparta was run.
9. Mrs Tibbs, could not stand her. Whinny, no loyalty, married tona cop but complains. Except for her dealing with Rape, restbof her portrayal was either complaining and not doing anything about it..or.."I can make some coffee.
10. Harriet's son. The biggest racist and selfish, self centered person. Yeah his acting sucks
