"Sir, I've got two passions in life... law enforcement and Japanese sports coupes. That's right. I, too, am a proud gay man and Miata enthusiast."

"Officer Bryson is a regular at my husband's restaurant. We have a caricature of him on the wall."
"I'm wearing an apron, standing next to a barbecue. I love barbecue sauce, and... they ran with it."

George Bryson debuted in the episode "Success Perm", where Steve Chen had his car stolen and he called the police for help. Officer Bryson picked up and Steve told him that he had a new Miata that was stolen. Officer Bryson told him that he was lying about it being new because he had a true calling of knowledge on Japanese automobiles and he knew that they didn't make Miatas in that color anymore, which was a very victorious situation for the Huangs trying to prove that they were better than the Chens.

Officer Bryson returned in the episode "Showdown at the Golden Saddle", where Louis found that his billboard had been vandalized. He pulled off the road and Officer Bryson helped him with finding the suspect.

Officer Bryson appeared again in "License to Sell", where Ashley Alexander called him on Jessica for selling houses without a realtor license. It was revealed then that George was actually very close friends with the Huang family at this time and that he was a regular customer at Cattleman's Ranch Steakhouse.

Officer Bryson appeared again, making his season two debut in the episode ["[Miracle on Dead Street]]", where Jessica came to the police station, trying to get them to arrest some teenage boys who threatened to egg her house on Halloween, but the police wouldn't comply because that day was a holiday and they were all too interested in that. She called out Officer Bryson to help her, only to find out that he too was too interested in it, dressed up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and committing to his costume.

Bryson shivering in fear

In "Rent Day", Jessica asks him for help in clearing out the pesky husband and wife pair Jordan and Raquel who are using up her house as their own place despite refusing to pay rent. Bryson dismissed Jessica's requests to arrest them, claiming that she has no grounds to have an officer arrest Jordan and Raquel if she is the one who rented the property to them by a legal binding contract, so she has to handle it without the police's assistance. Bryson dresses up as Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle again in "Louisween".
