Your forgot Third Watch!!
Old farts I talked to a long time ago, said the most realistic cop show on the air at the time was "Barney Miller"; who knows might still be true today.
:yo:
How could I forget that one, but I don't know, COPROCK was pretty realistic, don't ya think. We always dance and sing at my unit! :laugh:Quote:

CSI is also bullshit and if I were king, it would be taken off the air. It's done more to screw up juries by making them believe cops can do super forensic work on EVERY crime scene than anything else. I wonder how many crooks have walked after being found not guilty by a jury influenced by CSI?:censored:Quote:

Personally, I like Reno911:thumb:

The NYPD members who I know have ALL said this is NOT the case and the interrogations their Detectives conduct are NOTHING like the ones depicted in these series. (Hence the reason why the TV shows are so entertaining.)
Beating confessions out of people went out with high button shoes, I'm afraid. I almost went toe-to-toe with a suspect (Wanted for running over and killing a pedestrian) who was so high on crack during the interview that he broke a tooth right in front of me.
When I wouldn't let him out of the "Box" he went nuts, took up a fighters stance and DEMANDED to be released.
I had to go home and get a migraine that night for NOT beating the dogshit out of him....:boxing:
In what must have been one of the shortest lived series on network television, "Cop Rock" was part "Real Stories of the Highway Patrol" and part "Sound of Music". After chasing down a criminal, the force would take to the street for an organized dance number, then haul the guy back to HQ. This may have been the only series to have been based on a broadway musical format.The 1990s started off with one of the boldest experiments ever attempted in American television # the creation of an hour-long weekly television police drama, done as a musical. Longtime television innovator Steven Bochco, creator of major hits like Hill Street Blues and L.A. Law, took the biggest risk of his career. He brought the musical back to television but this time as a gritty, street-wise cop show called Cop Rock. The songs were written by a stable of songwriters ably led by the Oscar-winning Randy Newman.:rofl:Quote:

when I went to the academy......they called me "andy" guess mayberry is the place to be!!!
I'm a fan of 3rd watch. If I can I can remember right, there was a show on ABC a couple years back called 10-8 about a rookie deputy that was on FTO for The LASO. That was a cool one.
Does anyone else remember "Broken Badges"? Miguel Ferrer & Ernie Hudson, among others, playing cops who had kind of snapped and were in therapy. It only ran 8 episodes in 90-91, but was a good show.
Nope, but then again..........you're quite a bit older than I am.
HAAA HAAA!
Watch it, Whippersnapper, or I'll come after you with my cane.
In that case..................ah never mind, just spank me and get it over with.
YESSSS!
As for cops shoes, Homicide Life on the Street was pretty good. I liked that some of their cases were not solved in the hour to let folks know not every case is solved.

I remember 10-8! I liked that show but since it doesn't show cops being dirty it didn't last long. it brought back some memories of being in field training.
third watch is indeed pretty cool.
24 is another good one... different kind of show, but pretty cool. Funny how so much shit can happen in one hour... :nod:
