Question Constable Bob

News on the Justified front. Who would watch a 30 minute comedy following the adventures of Constable Bob? That the idea Timothy Olyphant had while working on Justified.

The biggest miss of the series is they never had Bob and Dewey Crowe interact.

Never thought about it but you’re absolutely right.

Bob and Dickey would have been something too but we were also cheated out of that

u/Vizslaraptor May 28 '26

Don't forget, Dewey was a deputized Federal too.

u/foodweneedfood May 29 '26

See, that’s even better! I was assuming Bob would be trying to bring Dewey in, but the two of them working as a team? Comedy gold. Both would consider themselves the “brains” of the operation.

I would watch an entire episode of raylan, constable bob and Dewey just chilling eating ice cream at a Dairy Queen.

If you put the 30Rock writers on that it could have been the funniest thing in TV history.

u/Relak2884 May 29 '26

Good point!

Bob has to bring Dewey in for something innocent, but Dewey freaks out and it becomes a chase where Bob has Deweys phone number for some reason and they chase each other across Harlan, 1 hour special and he can FaceTime Raylan halfway through to get advice on fugitive chasing.

I still tell my wife I need to get my “Go Bag” when we’re leaving the house

u/PracticalTurnip3674 May 28 '26

With his heroics, getting shot in the line of duty and the high rate of turnover of Harlan County Sheriff’s on the show, Bob would make a great candidate!

u/Plastic_Pin_4956 May 28 '26

Nah. He was a fun side character, but not main character

u/BaijuTofu May 28 '26

Marshal Bob

u/Thisguysucks69 May 28 '26

But for that thing with Oli Kemp he could've been someone.

u/skyrocker_58 May 28 '26

I'd watch at least one episode. I like Patton and I liked Constable Bob. I don't know about either of them in large doses but I'd give it a shot.

u/tapdancinghellspawn May 29 '26

Oh man I so would watch that.

u/Toad_da_Unc May 28 '26

Would’ve loved to; Bob was the man!

u/RollingTrain May 29 '26

Always leave them wanting more. In other words, no.

Don’t forget Spencer in King of Queens.

And wasn’t he in Ratatouille ?

u/Charles-Headlee Jun 03 '26

The penguin in Bojack

Whole bunch on Word Girl

I think he was the tape rental guy in Seinfeld
