This show was a regular watch for the wife and me in the day.
I must have been too busy dating when this was on. But I did love Adam 12!!! What was the show with the 2 California highway patrol guys on motorcycles? With Eric Estrada? Loved that one, too!
I enjoyed HSB quite a bit. The desk sargaent saying 'Let's Be Careful Out There' was a good catch phrase. Had some really humorous moments. I remember one episode when two officers were at a car accident, and found the person's arm lying there, ripped off the person's body. One cop looked at wrist, snickered while his partment said 'Don't Say It'.
'Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking' ... 8^)
Great show and cast. Veronica Hamel was smoking hot too, I'm sure that did not hurt the ratings.
I remember back in the day watching this series with my Dad. Good Times! (which was another show for another day)
ReplyDeleteYep, I remember this one. Loved that show.
