Description: It was a revival of original Burke's Law television series, as millionaire cop Amos Burke, now deputy chief instead of a captain, and Peter Barton as his son Det. Peter Burke. The series shared several running gags with its original incarnation, such as Burke often being the object of much female interest, something passed onto his son, a variant of someone asking why Burke, a millionaire, is a cop, and Burke dispensing wisdom to his son and others in a professional manner, dubbed "Burke's Law".
