I grew up in Atlantic City and I remember being really excited about this TV show being filmed in our town. In fact they shot a scene in my grandfather's restaurant on the boardwalk.So I couldn't wait to watch it.

And then it was abruptly canceled if I remember correctly. I was only 8 or 9 years old.

I remember this show and I am a fan of Brian Dennehy - they looked like real father & son

I knew that this show wasnt just in my imagination. I was a little Shamus, my father a big one.

Oh, I used to watch and enjoy this in Barbados! (Theme by the greatest TV theme writing team ever, Mike Post and Pete Carpenter!)

What was a kid doing in an Atlantic City casino? Kids don't belong there.
