Benson uncovers political wrongdoing when he learns the lieutenant governor is taking bribes in the Season 6 opener, "The Scandal." That episode leads to Benson deciding to run for lieutenant governor -- but he learns that one of his major supporters expects political favors in return. Season highlights include Benson getting an unexpected inheritance, Benson and the governor get trapped in the Oval Office after being called to talk to the president; and a two-part episode that involves a trip to Hong Kong for Benson, Clayton, the governor and Gretchen. Guest stars include Susan Ruttan, the Smother Brothers, Bobby Vinton and Tracey Gold (real-life sister to Missy Gold, who plays Katie).
