    • Trivia
      By the time of the series' final season, Kate Jackson was receiving the most fan mail of all cast members.
    • Goofs
      Anytime the officers are responding code 3 (lights and sirens) the sirens in the patrol cars are on wail and yelp simultaneously. In order to change the sounds on an emergency vehicle siren it must be done manually with the switches on the siren box inside the vehicle. It is impossible to have two sounds going at the same time.

    Long Live the Rookies!

    Excellent show! The 70's was not only the best time for television but especially for the police shows. I hope it comes out on dvd as S.W.A.T did. You have to remember that this is an older show & we loved it back then. To watch it now would bring back memories of childhood & how much we waited to see it every week. To me, that is what the Rookies is all about.
