Hell Town is an American drama television series that aired on NBC from September 11 until December 25, 1985.
[1] Blake stars as Noah "Hardstep" Rivers, a hard-living Catholic priest at a church in a crime-ridden neighborhood on the east side of Los Angeles.
[2] Rivers was rather unusual for a priest, as he was a former criminal, played billiards, and didn't have the greatest of speaking skills.
Despite all of this, Rivers was the perfect man to lead his church, as he grew up in the neighborhood, so he knew about the gangs and drug dealers who lived there and attacked his parishioners.
The Hell Town pilot film aired on NBC on March 6, 1985.
