Henry Fonda

The Smith Family (ABC)

PREMISE This tale of veteran Los Angeles detective Chad Smith (Fonda) focused more on his home life than life on the beat, although it gave him some time to confront the turbulent realities of Nixon-era America (above).

LIFE SPAN Jan. 1971-Jan. 1972, April-June 1972

FUN FACT Playing teenager Bob Smith was future Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, whose Smith stint marked an awkward post-Andy Griffith/pre-Happy Days phase.
