Synopsis
Robert Blake's scrappy, ex-convict-turned-ghetto priest in an impoverished inner-city parish was the latest in his series of original characters (after "Baretta" and "Joe Dancer") and his "Hell Town" turned into a surprise hit (written pseudonymously by Blake). Blake convinced the network into going ahead, reluctantly at first, with a "Hell Town" series -- which bombed out after a handful of airings. Most saw Blake's Father Hardstep, despite his colorful melange of cohorts, simply as "Baretta" with his collar turned around.
