[net.tv] Charles Haid

This question has been gnawing at me for awhile, so I thought I'd
post it to the net for all the TV trivia fans to see if anyone has
the answer (I DON'T!).  Charles Haid (sp?) currently plays Renko
on Hill Street Blues.  Before that (early to mid 70's) he played
either a police detective or a private eye on a TV show where his 
partner was the lead guy from Taxi (I can't believe I'm blocking on this
guy's name, too.  Judd Hirsch, maybe).  The series ran somewhere around
the time that Petrucelli (starring Barry Newman) ran.  Anyway, with 
these few pointers, I'm hoping someone can tell me the name of the 
series.

Thanks,
Dave K.

The name of the program with Charles Haid and Judd Hirsch was called
"Delvecchio".  It aired in the fall of 76 to summer 1977.

	Sgt. Dominick Delvecchio - Judd Hirsch
	Sgt. Shonski	         - Charles Haid

Their lieutenant was played by......are you ready ..... Michael Conrad
of Sgt. Esterhaus fame from Hill St.

If one wants to be picky, Charles Haid was not Hurt's "right-hand man", but
more like his "left-hand man". Haid was the one who was against Hurt's experi-
ments all along. Bob Balaban was the one who played Hurt's right-hand man.

You are correct.  Charles Haid starred in a series prior to Hill Street
Blues as a sidekick to Judd Hirsch.  The series was called "The Law,"
and was a poor serialization of a reasonably good TV miniseries.  He
was billed in that series as "Sid Haid" for some reason I don't know.

That, however, was not Haid's first series.  I remember him distinctly
as playing the brother to Ann Meara (of Stiller and Meara) in a series
whose name *I* don't remember.  (It didn't last very long.)

Note that Haid was also William Hurt's right-hand man in "Altered States."
