Two episodes. That’s how long this absolute stinker of a show lasted. Arnie Sutter was a hotel detective in the gambling resort of Atlantic City. I don’t know about how or why he was a single dad, and apparently no one else cared. Can you imagine a show so bad it didn’t make it to Columbus Day? Sheesh.
