Drama
United States of America
One of the recurring plotlines in Paris involved the relationship between Captain Paris (played by James Earl Jones) and his wife Barbara (played by Lee Chamberlin). Their marriage faced many challenges as the demands of Paris' job often caused tension and conflict between them. Additionally, Paris struggled with balancing his responsibilities as a police captain and a professor, often leading to conflicts with his colleagues and superiors.
The show also delved into the personal lives of the young detectives under Paris' command. Sergeant Stacy Erickson (played by Corinne Cléry) was a strong, independent woman who often clashed with Paris but ultimately earned his respect. Officers Charlie Bogart (played by Bruce A. Young), Ernesto Villas (played by Michael Warren), and Willie Miller (played by Jake Mitchell) each had their own personal struggles and storylines that were explored throughout the series.
Overall, Paris was praised for its realistic portrayal of police work and the complexities of relationships both on and off the job. However, despite positive reviews from critics, the show struggled to find a consistent audience and was ultimately canceled after just one season.
