Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Adapted from the eponymous mystery novel series by Ralph McInerny and starring Tom Bosley, Tracy Nelson, James Stephens, and Mary Wickes, this show got its start as a TV movie in 1987. It became a series in 1989 and ran until 1991, running for one eight-episode season on NBC and two more seasons (a combined 35 episodes) on ABC.Set in Chicago, it involves the main characters, Father Francis "Frank" Dowling (Bosley) and Sister Stephanie "Steve" Oskowski (Nelson), stumbling across murders and other such crimes, and solving them. Then there's Father Prestwick (Stephens), the assistant to the Archbishop who often finds himself filling in for Father Dowling in church matters when the latter is out investigating, and rectory housekeeper Marie Mulkin (Wickes).The series also had three appearances by Father Dowling's identical twin brother Blaine (also played by Bosley), a Con Man who invariably caused trouble.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Delinquents: Sister Steve was one of these before she became a nun, hence her street smarts. Both her brothers also have histories. | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
| Father Dowling Mysteries / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Father Dowling's original Friend on the Force was his nephew, Lietenant Phil Keegan. Keegan was the son of the priest's deceased sister (and not Father's Dowling's Evil Twin Blain). Unfortunately for Lietenant Keegan, he suffers a fatal case fo Chuck Cunningham Syndrome right after the pilot, and is never seen or referred to again. Coincidentally, Tom Bosley, who played Father Dowling, also played Chuck Cunnigham's father on Happy Days. | |

Amateur Sleuth: Dowling and Oskowski are definitely not trained investigators, but they do what they can. | |
