B.A.D. Cats was a short lived one hour action/police drama that aired on ABC from January until February of 1980 on Friday nights at 8 PM Eastern time. It starred Asher Brauner, Steve Hanks, and Michelle Pfeiffer in one of her first major acting roles. Also appearing were Vic Morrow, LaWanda Page, and Jimmie Walker.
Nick Donovan (Brauner) and Ocee James (Hanks) were two former race car drivers who joined the LAPD as part of the B.A.D. C.A.T. squad (which stood for Burglary Auto Detail Commercial Auto Thefts). Using their superior driving skills, the two mainly saw fit to run the bad guys off the road rather than question them. Their superior, Captain Nathan (Morrow) publically chastised the two, but privately encouraged their "loose cannon" style. Officer Samantha Jensen (Pfeiffer) would occasionaly lend a hand when a more feminine approach was called for. Also seen were Ma (Page), who owned a bar which the boys frequented, and Rodney (Walker), a former car thief trying to get on the straight and narrow.
