Don't Ever Do an Act of Kindness
Hitchcoc28 March 2023
Dick asks for a stoplight from the town council and is granted one. But when Shifflet asks for a raise, he is turned down because all the money went to the stoplight. Shifflet goes on strike and becomes depressed when so little happens in the town that requires a cop. Joanna talks Dick into hiring him. As a security guy, he becomes a terror to the guests, searching them and taking their pastries. At one point he opens a suitcase looking for towels and little bars of soap.

Of course, Dick ends up paying a price fir his actions. The scene at the end is pretty funny. Jim and Chester are great characters, constantly burrs in Dick's saddle.

Officer Shifflet on strike
Jimmy_the_Gent42 June 2018
Dick asks the town for a new stop light and gets it, but Officer Shifflet is refused a raise since the stoplight takes up all the money.

A rare chance for Todd Susman's deadpan, tough talking local cop character to have his own episode. Susman was a busy TV actor appearing in sitcoms like "Room 222" and he also played a convincing psycho in the TV movie "Death Scream'. Dick is feeling guilty so he hires Shifflet as inn security. There is a funny scene where the officer searches guests for towels and soap.
