Smiley Dupree - 35 episodes - I think ... Smiley played the trumpet and at one point, Remy's detail was being his manager - not a very good one, as I recall. In season 2, it seemed Smiley almost worked for the police |

She drinks her coffee with one cream and three sugars. Darlene was a former gypsy (showdancer) - she still auditioned, and sometimes practiced her dance routines at the precinct ..... in costume.
