CARTUH COUNTRY

CARTER COUNTRY
1977-1979 ABC

CAHTUH COUNTRY
Sick #120, February 1978
a: Jack Sparling

People younger than me seem to think everyone born before 1980 was racist, and I always say they only see the worst examples. Seeing this show again, maybe we were.

Sitcom about Sergeant Baker (Kene Holiday) joining the police force in the town of Clinton Corners, Georgia and having to deal with a racist police force and town board which included the chief Roy Mobley (Victor French)
Also on the force were Cloris (Barbara Cason) and Harley (Guich Koock), and officer Jasper DeWitt (Harvey Vernon). There was also Mayor Burnside (Richard Paul)
And Lucille (Vernee Watson)
The show was called that because it was supposed to take place where then-President Jimmy Carter was from.

Convoluted co-incidence: This parody was introduced by Archie Bunker, who was played by Carroll O'Connor, who later starred in the In the Heat of the Night TV series, the movie of which had the same premise as this series.
UPDATE:
from The Final Segments of Popular TV Series by Paul Laikin and John Reiner in Crazy #47, February 1979.
