O'Hara, U.S.
Treasury
O'Hara, U.S. Treasury (on-screen title
is O'Hara, United States Treasury) is
an American television crime drama starring David Janssen and
broadcast by
CBS during the 1971-72 television season. Jack Webb's Mark VII
Limited
packaged the program for Universal Television. Webb and longtime
colleague
James E. Moser created the show; Leonard B. Kaufman was the
producer.
The series was produced with the full approval and cooperation of
the
United States Department of the Treasury.
Synopsis
O'Hara, U.S. Treasury starred Janssen (whose company co-produced the
show with Mark VII) as the title character, Treasury Agent Jim
O'Hara.
A county sheriff from Nebraska whose wife and child died in a fire,
O'Hara
cut all ties with his past life. He put in an application with the
United States
Department of the Treasury, which accepted him.
As a T-Man, O'Hara was available to any of the various law
enforcement
agencies then part of the Department, all of which cooperated in
this positive
portrayal of their various organizations, much in the manner of the
Los Angeles
Police Department with Webb's Dragnet and Adam-12. These included
the
Secret Service, the Intelligence Unit of the Internal Revenue
Service, the
then-Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Division of IRS, and the
then-Customs
Bureau.
O'Hara sometimes worked undercover. Janssen was the series' only
regular,
as he was given a different assignment at the start of each weekly
episode.
