"Carter Country" is an American television sitcom that ran from 1977 to 1979 on ABC.

ynopsis

"Carter Country" was set in the fictional small town of Clinton Corners in Georgia (presumably near the part of the state from which U.S. President Jimmy Carter hailed, thus the title), and featured Victor French as white police chief Roy Mobey and Kene Holliday as city-bred, college-educated, African-American Sergeant Curtis Baker.

It also featured Richard Paul as Mayor Burnside (who coined a minor catchphrase with his manic, "Handle it, Roy, handle it!", sometimes referring to his way of dodging a parking ticket fine), Harvey Vernon as officer Jasper DeWitt, and Barbara Cason as town employee Cloris Phebus. Additional comic support was provided by Texas-born actor Guich Koock who played the part of goofy deputy Harley. Vernee Watson rounded out the cast as the mayor's secretary. The plot centered around the stereotypical racism of the Deep South, and was often characterized as being an irreverent, comedic version of the movie "In the Heat of the Night". Fact|date=April 2008
