Hands down, Hill Street Blues, 1981 - 1986. Nothing like spending an evening on the hill!

Posted by: reno911_2004

I have to go with the obvious choice. COPS! 1989-present.

The Shield

Posted by: john77

Technically not a cop show, but I do enjoy CSI (the original).

Posted by: john77

I watched alot of Barney Miller wen I was little too. I vaguely remember enjoying tht one.

Posted by: EOD1

well current shows: the shield- I luv that damn show, i own all 3 seasons. I like third watch alot- i like how they show/incorporate Fire & EMS. I am also a big law & order fan, the original.

I remember watching hunter when i was real young & barney miller also.

Of course i would chose cops, but i am thinking of "police drama's" category

Posted by: Mortal knight

gotta love COPS. Nothing funnier than watching a bunch of rednecks showing us what not to do.

Posted by: Piper

Ever see "The Job" with Dennis Leary? It didn't last a whole season but it was really funny while being pretty realistic (there was a scene where his partner had a house party and all the cops took over the back yard sneaking beers while the civilians where inside the house, reminded me of a bunch of parties I'd been to).

Looking back in time how about Dragnet the
orignal show with Jack Webb.

Posted by: Officer Dunngeon

I hate cop shows, as in dramas. They irritate the hell out of me.

I love "COPS" and "Reno 911!"

Posted by: MCPD617

I have always been a big NYPD Blue fan. By the way, tonight is the last epsiode ever.

Posted by: Philly

Two words. Miami Vice!

Posted by: Mikey682

Last episode of NYPD Blue is tonight

Posted by: JoninNH

NYPD Blue is the best. Tomight will be a sad end to 12 years of television... its on at a special time for the two hour series finalle-- 9pm.

Posted by: Tackleberry

I have to say the best cop show is "The Shield" on FX.

On another note how many people here have a copy of the movie "Super Troopers"? I haven't met an officer yet that doesn't have a copy of the movie or just has never heard of it.

Posted by: PBC FL Cop

The Shield is the only one I watch, its too bad its only on for a few months a year!

Posted by: kttref

Cop or LE related shows I like/watch:

NCIS....

ok that's really it. I watch COPS at the gym sometimes, but haven't seen any new episodes this season. I used to watch Hawaii - but it was canceled...wasn't that good anyway.

Posted by: Tango16

MY votes goes to
CSI (the first)
and
COPS

Does anyone remember 480 Robert. It was about a LASO Rescue team. It was on late 70's

Dragnet the (newer) movie will never come close to Dragnet the show. Also...I used to LOVE Get Smart. That's kind of a cop show....can you see I'm much more into the detective side of things? And solving mysteries and whatnot...one of the reasons I also wanted to be an archaeologist.

Posted by: pucknut

Boomtown was a great show, I wish it didn't get cancelled.

How about PI shows?
1. Spencer
2.Magnum

From old to new:
1. The F.B.I. with Efrim Zimbalist Jr.
2. Adam 12
3. S.W.A.T.
4. Starskey and Hutch

I liked 10-8 when it was on. NYPD Blue is my favorite, however, Third Watch is a close second

Posted by: Foxracingmtnridr

My favorites in No particular order.
Law and Order (SVU, CI, The Original), Third watch, The shield.

Starsky & Hutch.........bad movie, great TV show

Posted by: Gil

Hill Street Blues all the way!

Posted by: badogg88

I like Third Watch. A couple seasons ago they had a lot of firefighters, now there are none. I liked seeing all 3 (Police, EMT, Firefighters)

Posted by: Dr.Magoo

Adam-12
TJ Hooker
SWAT
and Third Watch

Posted by: stm4710

Hmmmm

I LOVE COPS!! I have been watching since 1989 & the ONLY reality show I will watch.

Old episodes of 3rd watch...........it just got stupid.

And even though its not a LE show........I have to say the Dukes of Hazzard! HAHAHA..........Sheriff Rosco Peco and Enoss. :P The radio talk sounds just like a city nearby me.

Anyone remember High Incident, the show that was on back in 1996-97? It starred David Keith, and Blair Underwood came on about halfway through the season. The last show they did a recreation of the North Hollywood shootout, and they did a great job... Unfortunately, the show cancelled, and left you hanging, wondering what happened... and no DVD's as of yet... That was a great cop show.

Posted by: Jeep

Law and Order... the original series, not the spin offs. Espescially when it was Brisco & Logan.

It's not technically a cop show, but 24 is good.

Boomtown was good too.

I remember High Incident. You're right, it was a pretty good show. It's too bad they took it off the air. Do you also remember Brooklyn South? Also a good show that only lasted a year or two. Bummer!

Oh, how could I forget:

21 Jump St.

Posted by: EOD1

god i luv super troopers, its great "can i have a liter of cola"
hey mortal if u think cops is full of red necks then u should go to the pan handle of FL in bay county they have a show called "Busted in the Pan Handle" its a public access cops type show with the Bay County Sheriffs Dept." they call the pan handle LA for a reason (Lower Alabama).

Posted by: DVET1979

Anyone remeber "THE NASTY BOYS" with Denis Franz. It debuted in early 1990 I think but it didnt last long.

Posted by: 725

Another vote for CHiPs and COPS . . . . also, The Wire is a great show.

Posted by: Riggs

Let's not forget COPROCK!!!

Holy S! JK I would have to go with Third Watch as my fav.

Posted by: KozmoKramer

Somewhat On-Topic; about 10-12 years ago, there used to be this "Cops" type show on channel 38 at 11:00PM. It might have been Real Stories of the Highway Patrol, but something tells me it had a different name. But why I preferred it over Cops was, it really had a lot of Massachusetts & New England episodes, where Cops usually have their setting in Florida, Seattle, Mid-West, West-Coast, etc. So seeing areas familiar to me was a little more interesting.

I remember one episode showed this big ass Mass K9 Trooper pulling over like 40 Hells Angels at 2:00am for riding "parade" style through Revere... I was like "oh shit", this guy is going to get killed, but he was totally controlling the bikers. Excellent episode... Anyone else remember it?

1. Dragnet 1967 - 1970 (Webb & Morgan Were Awesome Together)
2. Adam-12
3. CSI
4. Barney Miller
5. COPS
6. SWAT 1975

Posted by: bosoxmanny

you guys are forgetting a classic.....CHiPS hahahaha c'mon where else can you find motor officers who flip over their handle bars (multiple times I may add) at highway speed and get up with only a scratch on the uniform shirt hahaha Gotta love the immortal motor cops

Posted by: luap112

Kozomo,

You are correct it Was True Stories of the Highway Patrol. I too remember that episode. I had an instructor for some class use it as a Command Presence situation.

Posted by: 91B

***********Miami Vice************
Need I say anything further?
Also Season One just got released to DVD last month.

Posted by: Mitpo62

And there's a "Miami Vice" movie in the works.

Posted by: USMCMP5811

Almost forgot, on TBS late mornings (around 0400-0500) as a filler they run a cops spoof called Blotters about the Gordyville, GA PD

There was also a late night show on 38 called State Police I enjoyed that as well. It seemed, in my humble opinion, to have more NE units then the highway patrol series. I beleive they aired back to back.

Miami Vice was my fav until I was introduced to NYPD Blue. I still like Law and Order but I'll never be the same now that Jerry O's passed away.
