'The' Ferg


The chubby little deputy Ferguson is not called "the Ferg", like it says on the IMDB cast roster; it's just Ferg. What idiot wrote that? And why is Ferg following the typical movie hero cliche and driving a classic old car as a law enforcement patrol vehicle? And he's not even a cool character, he's the fat dork for comedy relief. A Pontiac Trans Am from the seventies? Ridiculous. And no cop anywhere drives his own personal vehicle while on duty. That's idiotic.

At least he might lose his virginity in season five. They set him up with a love interest, the redheaded nurse. Does he live in a cool apartment in his mother's basement?

Nobody messes with The Ferg.............dorks.

Lol, I noticed that too, and it's really annoying! 😏

I recall Ponch in CHiPs driving a similar car, but that was actually in the 70's. You're correct, no cop uses a personal car for duty. The one time Ponch did so as I recall it ended up getting speared by a forklift.

I came to this thread to post another observation about Ferg- when the mob dudes cut him off with the semi, why not drive around them on the right and put that Hemi to use? Neither the semi nor the SUV behind him could have caught up to him, and he could have phoned/radioed for help. He's a nice guy, but often incompetent as a cop.

My thought in that scene is to question why he would be on a deserted two-lane road instead of going up I-90. Bad choice.

In Season 1 Longmire actually calls him "The Ferg". The sheriff also says something about how The Ferg was only hired because the sheriff knew his father.

He was in last nights (1/24) episode of This Is Us. From the previews he's going to be in the next ep as well.

Use of personal cars is quite common in Hawaii and RCMP traffic enforcement also use personal cars, (all be it with light bars in the grill and back window)... The use of personal cars in rural locals is common.
