McCloud was one of television's more tongue-in-
cheek police series. Here was Deputy Marshall Sam
McCloud from Taos, New Mexico, driving the New York
City police crazy. He had originally arrived in New
York to chase a prisoner who had escaped from him,
and his direct, rather strong-arm methods were hard
for the big-city police to cope with. After capturing his
man, McCloud somehow found himself on temporary
assignment in Manhattan's 27th Precinct under Chief
Peter B. Clifford. Although he was ostensibly there
to learn the methods employed by a large metropolitan
police department, McCloud usually took things into
his own hands and reverted to type, much to the
chagrin and frustration of Chief Clifford.

Whenever McCloud went on a case he dragged Sgt.
Joe Broadhurst with him and, though they usually
solved the crime and got along well with each other,
Broadhurst's association with McCloud didn't seem
to be doing him much good with their mutual
superior Clifford. McCloud really looked out of
place on the streets of New York, with his cowboy
hat, sheepskin jacket, and matching accent. He
was full of western homilies and used the catch
phrase "There you go" quite regularly. His romantic
interest, not seen in every episode, was writer
Chris Coughlin, who was working on a book that
related to the fugitive he had chased to
New York in the pilot for the series.
