Adam-12 - Season Two DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

“One Adam-12, we have some episodes of the classic TV series to release.” And with that, we have season two of the late 60s/early 70s police drama, Adam-12! The series, a spinoff of the series Dragnet ‘67, follows Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed through the streets of Los Angeles, the city of angels-except the reality is that Reed and Malloy don’t always find the angels on the street and often have to go up against the roughest and toughest thugs in the city. The series demonstrates how some of the biggest crimes in the city have to be faced by unsuspecting street officers at first, and demonstrates the dangers of just showing up at work everyday. And there is nothing “unrealistic” about this series, as it the stories are based upon real cases and the episodes have, in fact, been used for training new police recruits in Los Angeles.

I just bought this set yesterday and have watched a couple episodes. Very realistic portrayal of beat cops. I also like that they filmed a lot of the scenes away from Universal Studios. The real location shots add a great authenticity to the show.
