Eischied (/ˈaɪʃaɪd/, EYE-shide) is an American crime drama television series that aired on NBC from September 21, 1979, to July 1, 1980.
The series stars Joe Don Baker as tough, brilliant, southern-bred New York City Police Department Chief of Detectives Earl Eischied.
He used a Smith & Wesson Model 10 .38 Special, snub-nosed revolver, which he carried "old school" style, inside his waistband, concealed by his vest and/or suit jacket.
His southern drawl concealed a sharp intellect and encyclopedic knowledge of criminology and police work.
NBC reran all 13 episodes of Eischied in its original Friday night time slot during the summer of 1983, almost four years after it had been cancelled.
