SWAT was a great 70s show. Horribly dated now but I love the series and have both seasons on DVD.

Untouchables is classic. It is a law enforcement fairy tale but done very well. I also have the boxed set. Some great cue and incidental music also.

It took ME-TV to appreciate Untouchables. I vaguely remember reruns as a 70s kid.

When CHiPs reran on ME way back when and I actually paid attention to what was going on in each episode, it was almost too painful to watch.

Did you know the box set for the Untouchables is not “complete”? We have to pay around $20 more to complete it.
Lacks additional year. But one showing Eliot Ness temporarily blind and frightened due to panic attack is too bad to watch. I wish I hadn’t watched it.

I’m only halfway into ChiPs and fast forward often now-—and never saw even one minute of the series first run.

Naked City uneven and strains to be arty but many are good.

Old Highway Patrol, despite half hour plot simplicity, was so great. No one can beat Broderick Crawford.

But Lee Marvin in M Squad had humor,irony, toughness -—the whole package. So great.

I know if I ever watched a post 1980 series they would have diversity problems,discrimination against feminists-—like a news story. No thanks.
