''[[Johnny Bago]]'' was a short-lived TV series airing on [[CBS]] in the summer of 1993, starring Peter Dobson.
 
Small time hood Johnny Tenuti has just been released from prison after a five year sentence for a crime he claims not to have committed. His cousin, a mid-level Mafioso, asks Johnny to cover for him on a date [[Two-Timer Date|which is on the same day as his wedding anniversary]]. Johnny does so, only to find himself framed for murdering the Mafia don's son.
Line 6:
So Johnny goes on the lam. He hooks up with an old man named Hick in a Winnebago RV. After Hick dies, Johnny repurposes Hick's RV and hides out in the RV community, travelling the highways and byways of America using the alias "Johnny Bago."
