Tony Baretta was an unconventional cop. He was
streetwise, single, with a decidedly funky lifestyle:
he holed up in apartment 2-C of the run-down King
Edward Hotel with his pet cockatoo Fred. He was
usually seen in a T-shirt and jeans, with his
trademark cap pulled down over his forehead. Being
the orphaned son of poor Italian immigrants, Tony
knew the city inside out. He was a master of disguise,
and because of his rough appearance was able to
infiltrate such groups as motorcycle gangs and even
"the Mob." Needless to say, he refused to have a
partner and always worked alone. Inspector Shiller
was his original boss, later succeeded by Lt. Brubaker.
Billy Truman was a retired cop who was a
combined manager and house detective
at the hotel where Baretta lived.
There was plenty of hard action in this series,
despite Blake's public protestations that he opposed
wanton violence on TV. The show had a "with-it" light
sense of humor; comic relief was provided by Tony's
fancy-dude informant-friend Rooster. Tony's real-
life wife Sondra Blake was an occasional guest star.
