Best TV COP Series?
 

Three categories.

1.)New York City Cops
2.)Los Angeles Cops
3.)Other

My Nominations:
1. Law & Order(especially with Orbach)
Barney Miller

2. Dragnet
Adam 12

3. Hill Street Blues

I don't know about TV series, but Super Troopers gets my vote for movies :D

There are eight million stories in the "Naked City" :yes:

Reno 911 :D

Cop Rock ! <grin> Seriously, they gotta go a long way to beat "Hill Street Blues"...Another underappreciated gem was "Crime Story", a kind-of "Miami Vice" set in Chicago & Vegas in '63...

I am partial to Hawaii 5-0, for obvious reasons.

Nefarious activity in paradise.

Car 54 Where are you ?

Hill Street Blues !

Actually,it would be Columbo..followed by Dragnet,Hill Street Blues and Baretta

How about Police Story? Probably the first to show cops dealing with stress, abuse and other issues.

Of course, Starsky & Hutch was a classic.

Per the three categories:

New York: Law and Order franchise

LA: The Shield

Other (Baltimore in this case): Homicide: Life on the Streets

Barney Miller

my favorite also :smoke:

Another vote for Homicide: Life on the Streets. It was a trend setter. Countless cop and detective shows follow its style. The first season or two of CSI (the original, not the spinoffs) were pretty good, but then they just got silly.
