Starring Robert Pastorelli (Murphy Brown) as "Fitz" Fitzgerald, a brilliant but abrasive police psychologist working with the L.A.P.D. Fitz doesn't fit the typical psychologist stereotype; he's a drinker, a gambler and cheats on his wife.
It is a shame we don't have Robert Pastorelli to play Fitz anymore, but I am sure there are other actors out there who would take on such a role.
Pastorelli's Fitz, on the other hand, is less brilliant, as the scripting in this version is not nearly as intelligent, and though similarly flawed, is not at all a sympathetic character.
