Palace Guard
A reformed thief secures a luxury hotel chain.
Palace Guard is an American crime drama television series that was briefly broadcast by CBS from October 18 to November 1, 1991, as part of its 1991 fall lineup. It was produced by Stephen J. Cannell. The show centers on Tommy Logan (D. W. Moffett), a reformed jewel thief and cat burglar who, after serving three years in prison, accepts an offer to become head of security for the posh Palace Hotel chain. The offer stems from two facts: Logan had previously stolen from the chain's high-class clientele, so he knows how to prevent theft, and he is the illegitimate son of the chain's owner, Arturo Taft (Tony Lo Bianco)—though Taft does not reveal this to Logan.

Background
The working relationship between Logan and his new boss, Christy Cooper (Marcy Walker), the hotel chain's vice-president of Public Relations, drives each episode. In each installment, Logan and Cooper travel to a hotel in a different city, where Logan helps avert some disaster using quirky and questionable methods, leaving Cooper to sweep up the fallout. Counting the show's feature-length pilot, only three of the eight completed episodes of Palace Guard were aired on CBS. In July 2010, Mill Creek Entertainment released Prime Time Crime: The Stephen J. Cannell Collection on DVD in Region 1, which contained all nine episodes of Palace Guard.
