New data!  New data!  From the Detroit Free Press TV Magazine, writeups
for "Saturday (Nov 24) Special Interest" (and no, I'm *not* making this
up):

"Broken Badges - (Premiere) A New Orleans cop Beau Jack Bowman (Miguel
Ferrer), forms a special off-beat crime-fighting unit composed of cops
temporarily on psychiatric leave from the force."

There you have -- he's the bull goose looney in the looney bin.
