Adam-12 (1968)
My favorite show of all time
Having grown up watching Adam-12 with my Father (an LAPD officer at the time the show aired) and also having known Martin Millner (one hell of a stand up guy and very normal person) my view may be a bit biased. I do believe I would feel much the same not having any ties to the show however. They managed to pack 30 minutes with the most real police action (stories based on actual cases, names changed to protect the innocent:), everything from hysterical house wives to shoot outs. This is what Police Officers encounter on a daily basis. It is a roller coaster ride to be sure! It is so nice to be able to watch this show again on DVD, I have them all :) Todays shows are a real drag, so similar, like they used a cookie cutter. Adam-12 is a look back at a somewhat simpler time. Things were more black and white then. Today there is a lot of gray area and we are faced with the ever growing problem of feral youth. I think the late 60's is when we started our slide into what we face today. I find myself watching a lot of Adam-12 and Bob Newhart lately. Too bad we can not turn back the hands of time. Maybe shows like Adam-12 allow us to feel like we have if for only 30 minutes at a time...
