    • 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.

    A great show

    If you are looking for a really cool cop show then the rookies is the show for you. It may have been made back in the 70's but the stories are really good. It also benefits from the fact that Kate Jackson is in it. She brings a clean polished performance each time she is on. And the 3 Rookies (actors) have a really great chemistry.
