A - Twenty-Six TV Shows - Z
Adam-12 is a television police drama that followed two police officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, Pete Malloy and Jim Reed, as they patrolled the streets of Los Angeles in their patrol unit, 1-Adam-12. Created by R. A. Cinader and Jack Webb, who is known for creating Dragnet, the series captured a typical day in the life of a police officer as realistically as possible. The show ran from September 21, 1968 through May 20, 1975, and helped introduce police procedures and jargon to the general public in the United States of America.

It's Code 3 as into this call you delve
Backup will assist you with this mess
Seven Seasons I followed Reed and Malloy
since crime never slept on the LA streets
One Adam 12 was always ready to deploy
bad guys ran to ground when they hit their beat
Jack Webb gave us insight into the lives of cops
and they served with valor and pride topnotch
but like all good things they often come to a stop
Malloy and Reed at last came to the end of watch
Loved this show, along with the counterpart "Emergency." Great stuff when we were kids, though I admit I saw a lot of it in syndication.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Gregg, we didn't see the show here but it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteGreat start to the challenge.

What a fun A to Z topic! Sometimes a change is good. I used to watch Adam 12 regularly at first. After about 1971 I didn't watch all that much TV.
