Nobody's Perfect is an American sitcom television series, broadcast on ABC, about a bumbling police detective; it aired for two months in 1980, for a total of eight episodes. In the UK this program is known as Hart of the Yard, due to the existence of a British comedy also called Nobody's Perfect (which, bizarrely, stars an American living in England). It was broadcast in France only once in 1984 on TF1 under the name Cher Inspecteur (Dear Inspector). In Germany it was known as Hart auf Hart (Worst comes to worst).

Summary

British Detective Inspector Roger Hart (Ron Moody) is transferred from Scotland Yard to a police precinct in San Francisco, where his constant bumbling wreaks havoc upon his fellow officers, particularly his new partner Detective Jennifer Dempsey (Cassie Yates) and his superior Lieutenant Vince de Gennaro (Michael Durrell). However, Hart proves to have a great many skills which help him to solve crimes and catch criminals.

Each half-hour episode includes a number of slapstick moments, such as when Hart accidentally knocks Dempsey off a pier and into the water twice in one day. Also, each episode has a laugh track.
