‘Eischied’ TV title, 1979
We haven’t enjoyed a Show Toppers segment in ages, so let’s rectify that today with a rare one. Eischied starred Joe Don Baker as the gruff, Southern-born, New York City Chief of Detectives of the title.
Earl Eischied’s catchphrase was a terse, “Ya done good.” The highly intelligent and no-nonsense Chief was a bachelor whose best buddy was his cat, P.C. NYPD co-workers included Alan Oppenheimer as Capt. Finnerty, Alan Fudge as Dep. Commissioner Kimbrough, Eddie Egan as Chief Inspector Parks, Suzanne Lederer as Carol and Vincent Bufano as Rick.

Eischied ran Friday evenings (later moving to Sundays) on NBC from September 21, 1979 to January 20, 1980. Around 13 episodes were aired.
One last note: in case memory does not serve, the title is pronounced “Eye-Shyed.” Roll it.
