“The Closer” with Kyra Sedgwick was a great program. The spin-off “Major Crimes” not so much.

The Naked City and Adam 12 should be on any list like this.

No CSI or Law and order should be on that list. CSI is for housewives, and law and order is for women to strut around saying tough sounding things.

Never watched it. Don't really watch TV currently.

My list would be different... and in no particular order:

Adam 12 was ahead of its time:

I’m Still a Cop (1969)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0505349/?ref_=ttpl_pl_tt

At college where he’s taking a class, Malloy encounters resentment from Paul Banner and other radical students because he’s a policeman. After arresting students at a sit-in at President Lane’s office, Pete’s new Mustang is trashed. Malloy and Lane later question the student who stole a timing device, who admits giving it to Banner. Malloy suspects Banner hid a bomb on campus and forces him to divulge its location. A few days later Pete is invited to a student meeting.

“Gunsmoke...”

Agreed. Festus was priceless.

“21-50 by.” One of my favorites too.

Gangbusters did make TV in the 50s. It’s actually worth a watch even now.

Hawaii Five O is fun, but NYPD Blue was more of a real cop show.

I wasn’t a big fan of DaVinci——but loved Foyle’s War.

Agreed. It was a pretty good show. I liked it better than dragnet.
