Here's another one you might remember:

Police Story

Police Story was an anthology series that ran on NBC from 1973 to 1977. It was created by Joseph Wambaugh and was regarded, along with Adam-12, as one of the most realistic crime dramas of the day. The show won an Emmy and two Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America. One episode, "The Gamble," was made into the spin-off Police Woman. With its anthology format, the show was able to star several well-known character actors as various police officers. In later seasons the show became a series of TV movies.

I remember Police Story and Police Woman though I never really watched either. I had family members and friends that did. The only police show I remember watching was the reruns of Dragnet on Ch. 11 (local channel). I didn’t even watch Barney Miller regularly until it’s later seasons.
