Editor's Note
This 1970s cop show developed quite a following as it documented the adventures of three rookie police officers. Set in California, the show followed Willie, a young guy barely done with college; Mike, a former marine; and Terry, who was recruited to the profession as part of a minority program. Together they deal with the struggles of police work as their families try to deal with the fear of losing them to the job. This set contains all 23 episodes from the show's first season.
