In a post-O.J. world, when people really wanted their vengeance served to them on a silver platter, Creator/{{ABC}} delivered: a 1998 series that starred Creator/MichaelMadsen as Mr. Chapel, a vigilante who makes sure those bad guys who thought they got away don't really get away. Someone killed your father and blamed your husband? Someone cashing in on a book deal after getting away with offing someone you hold dear? One quick call to Chapel, and he'll make all your problems go away. Even better, [[TechnicalPacifist he doesn't use guns, nor does he kill anyone.]]

The series was quite critically panned for its subject matter, as Chapel did some mighty bad things, and the timing of its release--as noted, right after the O.J. trial. Creator/{{ABC}} thought it good enough to go up against the juggernauts on Thursday nights. Unfortunately, the gambit failed, and the series was canceled after 16 episodes, the last of which was named "Friends", in deference to [[Series/{{Friends}} the show that vanquished it]].
