Cop shows from the seventies were like everybody getting along with city, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and now, it's always feds vs locals, city vs county, etc.

Well, as a cop, i can tell you it's a combination of the two in real life.

I like Homocide and Hill St Blues but I like the old shows like Ironside, Naked City and NYPD (1967-69). Older police procedurals are more black and white: the cops are good, the villians are obviously heinous or psychopaths. Unlike today where everything is grey and the heroes can be pretty ugly in shows like The Shield. Innocence is gone forever.

Homicide: Life on the Street-This show is very addicting and great to watch.

Matlock-This was a campy show but that's a good thing. It was quite funny at times and Matlock was the best.

NYPD Blue- Very good show. Wish it was on TV more.

Murder, She Wrote- I haven't seen much of the show, but from what I have seen it is pretty good.

1. Adam-12
2. Dragnet
3. Adam-12
4. Dragnet
5. Adam-12

I have a one track mind. :)Crime dramas today don't compare to those two, especially Dragnet. It's too bad they're not airing anywhere. :(

Another I would put on my list would be Barnaby Jones, for my money it was Buddy Esben's best show.

What a bout the Shield that was a good show

In no particular order:

Hawaii Five-O: Great style and casting. Classic.
The Rookies: Huge fan of Kate Jackson.
Matlock: Fan of Julie Sommars, Linda Purl, Nancy Stafford...
Adam-12: Solid, interesting.
Naked City: More thought-provoking than most.
The Untouchables: Really getting into this now. Stack is great!
McMillan & Wife: Fan of Susan St. James
The Streets of San Francisco: Another classic of the era.
77 Sunset Strip ~~

I will go with 77 Sunset Strip as my favorite. Love it, the most style of its era!

Others I used to watch: Quincy ME, Baretta, Banacek, Columbo, Magnum PI, and Kojak. I would like to see Mannix again, as I don't remember it well. Also, I have not seen SurfSide 6, Bourbon Street Beat or Hawaiian Eye, and would love to watch them.

Question, since I'm new to these message boards. I grew up with all those old, classic 70s cop shows like Starsky & Hutch, SWAT, The Rookies, etc. We have been working on a parody of all the old cop shows, but I'm not sure if it's ok to post anything on it, or where that would be. It's not Fan Fiction- everything we've made up and written and shot is original. We've been doing short clips to intro the characters to people, in hopes we can dredge up fans and funds to do the feature film version, and then (fingers crossed) the series of half hour episodes to pay tribute to all the great episodes and series. Which forum is the appropriate one, if there is one? JB
