My favourite cop show!!
Well in my opinion their`s never been a better cop show than this. You might think it`s a biased one, but you`ll be hard pressed to find a show that beats it. It had all the magic ingredients to make it the best. Great characters, plenty of action, screeching car chases and sprinkled with just the right amount of humour.
It had its first airing in the US in September 1975 and went from strength to strength. David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser became household names. The series came under fire more than once for being too violent and was told to tame down!
The show was complimented with actors Antonio Fargas who played the stylish `Huggy Bear` and Bernie Hamilton as the grouchy `Captain Dobey`. And not forgeting the `car`, the torino.
The show ended in 1979 after four series and 91 episodes. The show was still at the top and watched by millions worlwide, but the actors wanted to go on and do something different.
Their has been much talk of a reunion show but nothing has ever come from it. That`s probably the best way, even though I`d love to see them all together again. To me it was a magical show that fueled my imagination as a kid growing up in the seventies. A big thanks to all those involved in the show!
