The Cop/Detective Show Appreciation Thread

yeah, most cops would write a ticket with gun drawn if they could.

Got inspired by this thread - Ed, this is for you, son!


Anyway, used to be fully into the cop shows back in the day - Dragnet being my all-time favorite (c'mon, the pot-smoking hippie family? The guy who painted half his face blue? Sherman Potter as Bill Gannon?). Used to be a slave to all things CHiPs, Mannix, Starsky and Hutch, Equalizer, Ironside, Cannon, Barnaby Jones, FBI, Adam-12 (with EMERGENCY! as a mega-one-two punch), and oh, so many others.

I can't say it enough, Tim really is a magnificant bastard.

Just give me a theme by Mike Post and I'll die a happy man.

Speaking of which, it's odd how NYPD Blue was the hit during the 90s and yet outside of Sipowicz's ass and the fact that all of his partners died. I can't remember anything related to cases or anything else.

Jesus...is there ever a day when Tim doesn't win the internet?

DO NOT DISPARAGE NYPD BRO. DON'T DO IT.

David Caruso was OUTSTANDING in season 1 of 'NYPD Blue'. I really wish that he had stuck around.

In total agreement, but supposedly that was all on him.

[Ed Hocken]

You're right about Caruso, that first season of NYPD Blue had some real grit to it. But as time wore on, it just became more and more a soap opera. Something that was a big consternation to the Homicide guys.

Still, I can remember on the weekends watching NYPD Blue episodes on tape with my dad.

ED, you're treading on thin ice bro. Don't push it.

So...how did I magically miss the message Columbo was on instant?

What the hell?
