N.Y.P.D.

Shows like Homicide owe a debt of gratitude to NYPD. This show was gritty and felt real as the detectives worked NYC fighting crime. The always reliable Jack Warden was the boss, Frank Converse was young Johnny Corso, and the under-rated Robert Hooks was Jeff Ward (whose wife Ethel was played by Denise Nicholas). And many, many later famous faces showed up on this show each week. It was a great show and it deserves a more than honorable mention!

This series sounds very interesting with many stars-to-be appearing. It will be shown on Decades TV.

Best TV cop show of the 1960's. I watched the show as a kid. I was

8 years old. Real Hardcore NYC background & reality violence.

Loved the intro theme song & images of New York. Found a 9 minute

clip and & intro on youtube.com Now if Hawaii-Five0 is on DVD on

its 4th season, how about NYPD coming on DVD. It would be a hot

seller for the boomer generation.

***New York's World Trade Center wasn't even built when this show ran from 1967 thru 1969. WTC started construction in 1970. A great TV show. Running time 30 minutes. Running time 30 minutes. Reflection of turmoil during 1960's urban cities crime problem.

I really do hope this 1960's television series was saved in the libraries of cinema excellence. It would be great if the entire series was cleaned up and released in Blu Ray format. The stories were always so real and the cops who worked the cases were so much better than that other good reality type TV series, Dragnet.

The racism, rape and murder epidemic was in full swing in the 1960's of New York city and these stories were presented in a format that has still been locked in my memory banks some fifty years now.

If the owners of this superb crime/drama TV series are listening please consider releasing this two season television series on Blu Ray and I know there are enough fans of reality cop shows that don't need CGI, or T&A to maintain our attention.

I loved this TV series and I rate it a 9 out of 10 rating. It was fantastic!

The recent demise of Jack Warden put me in mind of this good, but forgotten show. I well remember it from the late sixties. It was a tough and rather realistic look at the life in the precinct squad of the NYPD.

All three of the regulars here went on to have good careers and other television series. Frank Converse and Robert Hooks as the two detectives and their supervisor Jack Warden belong on anyone's A list of players.

NYPD ran for two seasons, got so-so ratings and got the ax. My guess is that it was a generation ahead of its time. It also suffered from the half an hour format. When shows like Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue came on the scene, they were an hour length and there was more time to develop the characters.

But those shows and many others owe a debt to NYPD. Hopefully some cable channel will pick it for reruns.
