Harlow Doyle first appears in Family Vacation I. Harlow Doyle's character was created after writers decided that the police officer, David Harley, was a bad impression because many police officers actually were really smart. As a result, many of the episodes involving Officer Harley were rewritten, some of which involved Harlow. He's incredibly gullible as he actually believed that the Terror from the Skies drama was an actual news broadcast, even after the drama ended. Harlow, ironically, actually solves a case in I Slap Floor, an April Fools joke story told by Bernard Walton.
