Yes. I know he was a P.I., but the Rockford Files was one of the best shows ever. I also agree with the other poster about Barney Miller.

The English contribution
Cracker- Fitz ( Robbie Coltrane) is the everyman of addictive personalities... drinking, smoking, gambling. A police shrink that is a genius at profiling anyone but himself. He digs deeply into the minds of the suspects while his own life falls to pieces. It feels strange to enjoy a character and be pissed at them at the same time... The series was short lived, but deadly intense. Coltrane proves he is more than a character from "Harry Potter"

There was an US sequel with Robert Pastorelli as Fitz and a young Josh Hartnett playing his son.. (part of Fitz's alienated family). It was pretty good also.

Gotta chime in for the English version of Cracker, too. Every now and again, these still air on BBC.

Another vote for Homicide Life on the Streets, and Detective Munch is still around on Law and order SVU

Seconded. Just got a couple seasons of Rockford on DVD.

Hawaii 5-0 also makes the top of my list (and the opening sequence is exciting to watch on an early color tv). Along with another good cop show I don't think anybody has mentioned yet: Kojak.

I like the first 48 hours, it is a reality cop show, where the show what happens in the first 48 hours after a murder is discovered. I also like Cold Case, and Cops, just to keep up with the family.

It's no contest the Shield by a long shot. Crime story was also excellent, and I wouldn't say it was a 60's take on Miami Vice. Crime story was well done and believible (until they moved the series to Las Vegas).
