Yeah, like that. 
MrsTobinL has been doing that with location shoots from The Rockford Files.
As was basically noted above:
Adam 12 takes us back to a time when WHITE Los Angeles, and WHITE America, loved the LAPD.
Adam 12 was created by the Dragnet team, R.A. Cinader and Jack Webb, and set the stage for all police dramas to come.
Er, yâmean like âCar 54 Where are you?â?
Itâs worth watching to see all the actors youâll recognize from other, later shows.
When I read this post and saw the reference to Emergency, the phrase âKMG 365â popped into my head âŚ
I wonder what Journalist Ruben Salazarâs favorite show wouldâve been if he wasnât murdered by the LAPD back when Adam-12 aired? I never saw the Adam-12 episode that was loosely based on that account.
JFTR, more than a few of us white kids back then werenât all that fond of the LAPD, either.
(Though in fairness, we mostly got busted and beaten by the LACoSD, whose jurisdiction included the Sunset Strip rock clubs and the bathhouses of âBoysâ Townâ. Of course, most of those businesses had clustered there because it was outside the reach of the LAPD, soâŚ)
LA Confidential is much closer to the mark on what the LAPD was like back then. Just roll forward about ten years and swap Adam-12 for Dragnet Badge of Honor.
Not to diminish LAPDâs awfulness, but Salazar was killed by an L.A. County Sheriffâs Department tear gas round. Different organization. Similar attitudes, though.
