Robert Blake

Robert Blake plays Det. Tony Baretta on Baretta, the undercover cop who keeps a cockatoo named Fred and a theme America sang in parking lots. Street-level Spelling/Thomas toughness — disguises, informants, a catchphrase about doing the time. Blake sells intensity on camera first. The hour is a street argument with a bird, not a lecture in a squad room.

Robert Blake does not wander in from another magazine; Det. Tony Baretta is the Baretta job, ABC night, 1975–1978 as the span. s01e01 still opens without a lecture — He'll Never See Daylight opens Spelling/Thomas street toughness. Blake's undercover cop already keeps a cockatoo named Fred; disguises and informants loading, later legal saga extra-textual.

Later legal weather sits outside the frame. On TV Flash he is 1970s cop-show craft: the detective who made undercover work photograph as a person with a pet and a warning, then left the parking-lot chorus doing the rest.

Robert Blake as Det. Tony Baretta is not a first-hour-only trick; s01e06 on Baretta is the second stance: Ragtime Billy Peaches is a disguise-title hour. Intensity on camera first. s02e01 keeps a sideways coordinate — The Goodbye Orphan Annie Blues is a season-open with a torch-song title. Street-level cop craft in sentimental clothes. Lead voltage. Baretta is built so Det. Tony Baretta can occupy the frame; Robert Blake is why the week still has a face.

Stay inside Baretta. Det. Tony Baretta is 1970s work on ABC, 1975–1978 on the spine, and a second magazine page will not make him clearer. The picks are a map: s01e01, s01e06, s02e01. Play them as position. Robert Blake is already the pulse the filing asked for.
