Greatest cop shows

I think I would have liked it better if I hadn't read the Wallender books first.

Dragnet was awful in such a great way. It should have made the list.

I'm going with Homicide: Life on the Street.

 

Homicide: Life on the Street is my all-time All Star.

 

Count me among those who wonder why the original "Hawaii Five-O" wasn't on the list.

And fairly high on the list, for that matter.

 

Coming back from a day at college and not having cable I watched H50 a lot (since the alternatives were soaps, shopping networks and religious programming) - I was surprised how dark some of them were.

 

I just assumed Adam-12 was on there and I missed it. Nope. As Batman points out, that's an unforgivable omission.

 

Same here. I had a couple of versions of the Station 51 Matchbox set that I'd play with constantly, and even a Station 51 fire helmet. Not sure where it came from, since I was born in 1976 and the show was off the air and in reruns by the time I got old enough to watch it, but I loved those things.

 

And Julie London. I always wanted that zipper to fail.

Hmm. She may be the cause of my nurses in uniform fetish.

 

Maybe Dragnet was punished for this:

 

I will always remember Dragnet: The Movie for this line:

 

I don't even remember hearing about The Unusuals, which surprised me. Judging by the write-up and the cast, I think I would have liked it.

 

The list is fail.

No Cop Rock.
