That is the all-time best, IMO!!!!!!

1-Adam-12, a 211 in progress, handle code 3...

Dragnet's not to shabby either. Gotta love those Jack Webb shows!

I love Adam-12!! Kent McCord was a hottie!!

Even though it only lasted six episodes, definitely for me it's Police Squad!, which resulted in the Naked Gun movies. It was a takeoff on those old Quinn Martin crime dramas, where you'd see on the screen Act I, Act II, Act III, Act IV, and then at the end Epilog after they came back from commercials. They also had a great time poking fun at the freaaze frame they used to do at the end of dramatic shows back then, instead electing to have the actors just stand still. Sometimes one of them would be moving though. It had the kind of clever sight gags and puns that the same production crew did in movies like Airplane, The Naked Gun, and Hotshots. Since it was just a half hour show, there were only two acts and there'd be some kind of joke like "Act 2, Yankees One" after the first half.

Adam-12. I agree Kent was a total hottie!!!!!!!!!!

The top four best were definatly:

1) Cagney & Lacey (1982-88)
I don't understand how this masterpeice was underrated because of Hill Street Blues. HSB is good and all, but Christine Cagney and Mary Beth Lacey were masters at the craft. They were two policewomen you didn't want to pick a bone with.

2) The Rookies (1972-76)
Another underrated one. I'm very glad TVLand brought it back. All of the actors do their parts to perfection, especially Kate Jackson and Micheal Ontkean.

3) Adam-12 (1968-75)
Kent McCord and Martin Milner were just fabulous as Reed and Malloy. I like the way the usual Jack Webb humor was thrown in too.

4) Dragnet (1967-70)
I never saw the original series, but I heard it's better than this one, but since I looooooooove this one, I know the original must be great too.

who do not act like the police officers on NYPD Blue, Hill Street
Blues, or Homicide act. They are ideal police officers who are
a good example for young men and women who are now
becoming police officers, especially in light of 9/11.

Yeah, and so what does TV Land do? Lose the contract and the show is no more.

Shows how much America still loves cops huh?

I had heard about Adam-12 from one of my friends and was going to start watching it to see what it was about and stuff and then I found out that it doesn't even come on anymore. That kinda made me
