Damon is an American television sitcom starring Damon Wayans that ran for thirteen episodes on Fox in 1998. The first three episodes aired Sunday at 8:30 pm and the rest aired Monday at 8:00 pm. It was created by Leo Benvenuti, Steve Rudnick and Damon Wayans and directed by John P. Whitesell.
Two brothers, one a bachelor and undercover detective, the other a married rent-a-cop, are reunited in Chicago. Things come easily to Damon, a clever but politically incorrect undercover cop. He has a quick wit, beautiful women and a challenging job. His older brother Bernard is a rent-a-cop home security officer who longs to be the real thing. Down on his luck and separated from his wife, he spends most of his time on Damon's couch. Down at the precinct, Captain Carol Czynencko is Damon's hard-as-nails boss who is trying to get in touch with her sensitive side; Stacy Phillips is a strong career-driven Latina who has a "no dating cops" rule; Carrol Fontain is a hypochondriac who makes his co-workers cringe with graphic descriptions of his problems; Jimmy Tortone is a Cuban con-artist who walks a fine line between shady and legit; and Billy Cavanaugh is a gung-ho, gullible new kid in the department who falls prey to everyone's practical jokes.
