    One GREAT Show ! ! !

    Well first of all this show should have been on longer. It's about 3 brothers that were adopted by their foster dad who was a cop and all 3 ended up being cops too. It was a show that was about family values and great people in general. The show showed that you can be a great cop and to be great brothers to one another. The show was on Saturdays on CBS and it only stayed on 1 year but it could not find a audience. Believe me I was there every Saturday when it was on! I think it will always be one of my favorite shows! Billy Warlock was really cool and the whole cas was fresh and ready to give 100% to give this great show all it had! I wish I could say it was on reruns but it is not! Believe me I have been calling T.V. to at least show it again on reruns. Who knows maybe it will happen? Out of 4 stars I give this GREAT show 4+. It's was that good.

    Great TV Show!

    I loved this show! I remember they played Queensryche "Silent Lucidity" in the first episode & I fell in love with that song. I am constantly looking for a copy on DVD. Hmmm. Wonder if Queensryche is the reason. Maybe they won't consent, although I don't know why they wouldn't. Anyway, if anyone has a copy on VHS or DVD, I'd be willing to pay for it.

    The Hat Squad

    The Hat Squad was a great family cop show that has it's place in all of our lives in one way or another. For the life of me I don't know why they cut it so short lived. The cast was perfect, the story line was a great idea and the show was full of family values that are timeless, down to earth, and actually could be realistic for a change.

    Definitely a show that could easily be appreciated even to today's TV watchers interest and standards that people from all walks of life could identify with and appreciate. When it was time to be a family, they were, and when it was time to be cops, they did their jobs even to standards that are realistic in today's world.

    This show will always have the door open for reruns that will have the TV watchers begging for more.

    Great Show!

    I Love This Show

    This was one of my favorite shows...if anyone happens to have copies of this on tape please contact me and let me know because I would pay to see this show again. Unfortunately I lost the copies I had in a fire and would love to get them back again. Billy Warlock is still a great actor and so are the other people from this old show. I still till this day don't understand why they pulled this from the air, but some re-runs of it would be fantastic. I was only 11 when this show aired I think, and I know it taught me good values and I know that I would definitely let my two daughters watch it when they are old enough to so they can learn the same values that I did.

    One of the best shows ever!

    I really loved watching the Hat Squad when it was on. I started watching it because Don Michael Paul(Buddy on the show) is one of my favourite actors. I was truly disappointed when the cancelled it after one year. It was a show that had awesome family values and showed the strength that a family can have with one another even if you aren't related by blood. I hope to see it in reruns someday as I was only smart enough to tape three episodes.

    • Trivia
      The Hat Squad was selected by Mr. Blackwell in the Oct. 1992 list of Worst Dressed Men. "In the mix, match, and mutilate department, take a look - if you dare - at some poor soul's idea of a trendsetting team. In silly fedoras, dubious dusters, and crayon colors, this neon-hued trio of Dick Tracy wanna-bes are fit for the funny paper. Cartoon casualties, one and all."
