All you really need to know about Sheriffs in the U.S. is encapsulated in the seminal performance of Sheriff Buford T. Justice by the late Jackie Gleason in "Smokey and the Bandit".

seemed like it should also be flopping around back there, but quibble quibble.

I am really liking Abby (and the actor who portrays her) more and more. Granted, it's a bit of a silly show, but I think she does a really great job with it.
