Re: Old cop shows, my top 10
"Starsky and Hutch" was the only one I was really into, though I remember watching "Hawaii Five O" with some regularity. Occasionally would catch some of the others like "Police Woman" and "Barretta." And of course "Barney Miller."
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?
