    , episodes 1-9 (uncredited); Bobby Ellerbee, episodes 9-current) - One of only a handful of human recurring characters, the Sheriff is a friendly, even sweet man. He has a close, amicable relationship with the Cuyler family despite—or perhaps because of—having had to arrest Early repeatedly. He is presented as a chain smoker and is foretold to die from emphysema "3 years from now". However, as the show does not follow any particular timeline, this has not taken place. The Sheriff seems to really care about Early, going so far as to arrange couple's therapy for himself and his troubled squid friend. The sheriff character is actually one of many clones grown on a farm as part of a "secret shadow government" developed by Dan Halen. Most are identical—with a few exceptions—and described as having "marginal strength and hypersensitivity to pain." In the episode The Big Gay Throw Down, it was revealed that the Sheriff may be gay, though not all of his clones are (as not all are exact copies of him). The same episode also revealed that he was "possessed" by a gay "demon" at least since childhood. (This is in direct opposition to an earlier episode where he expressed relief that gay-marriage-encouraging robots didn't try to "convert" him.) Though the Reverend appeared to "exorcise

     where they would be allowed to drive cars. This particular incident necessitated the choosing of a new Sheriff from the rest of the clones on Dan Halen's farm (where this time they tried to specifically choose one that was straight). But as the Sheriff was gay as a young man and has been replaced many times over the series (sometimes in quick succession), it is thought that he is nominally a gay character with some of his incarnations being straight.
