About Sarge

Sarge ended on January 11, 1972, after its single season aired on NBC. The series concluded over fifty years ago and is no longer in production or scheduled to return.

Sarge was a drama and crime series that premiered in 1971. It followed the story of a veteran police sergeant who, devastated by the loss of his wife to an assassin's bullet, entered the priesthood. Three years later, he was ordained Father Samuel Patrick Cavanaugh and was assigned to serve at Saint Aloysius Parish in San Diego, California. The show depicted his efforts to solve mysteries within his troubled parish using unorthodox methods, blending elements of crime-solving with spiritual themes.

The cast included George Kennedy as Father Samuel "Sarge" Cavanaugh, Ramon Bieri as Lt. Barney Verick, Sallie Shockley as Valerie Cavanaugh, and Harold Sakata as Kenji Takichi. The show did not have a rated score on TVMaze and had a runtime of 60 minutes per episode.
