    WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
    Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
    Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
    Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
    dak323 I was fortunate enough to meet martin Milner a few years ago. Even as an adult, I was eager to talk to him. Milner was gracious enough to give me his autograph, which I immediately laminated and treasure today (Nov 2005). I watched the new series in 1990. That series could only Be referred to as Skunk TV. I would welcome the opportunity to meet Kent KcCord and get his autograph. Does anybody remember McCord's real last name? McWhorter. Just a little bit of useless trivia I picked up years ago and still remember. This tells you that I watched way too much Adam-12, both growing up and whenever I can find it in syndication. I need to convince my wife to buy the series on DVD for me. Everyone please pray for me. It's almost Christmas and I am working on her again.
    Brian Washington This is one show that still holds up over thirty years after it premiered. Not only do you get a true life look at the day to day operations of a typical patrolman, but you also see the evolution of the relationship between two officers. When Reed is first teamed with Malloy he is the subordinate young officer who keeps calling Malloy sir and makes a few mistakes along the way, but by the end of the series, Malloy treats Reed as an equal and the two even call each other by their first names. In fact, in either the first or second season, Reed names Malloy the Godfather to his son. This show definitely proves that Jack Webb was a genius.
    Mister-UHF Around 1975, I heard a police officer call Adam-12 the most realistic police show ever. In 1999, I heard a recently retired police officer say the same thing. It's hard to top those reviews.All I'll add is that it had the best casting of any TV show I've seen.
    Thor2000 This was and still is one of the best cop shows to be seen in the history of TV. Martin Milner ("13 Ghosts") and Kent McCord are two very likeable guys who just have a job as they show us the real life of being a police officer and its responsibilites. They also show us just how idiotic criminals and law breakers really are. A perfect example is how they'll go to bust a guy who just robbed a bank. "The car's stolen," Reed says, "The guy just got out on good behavior." They chase the guy down, pin the cuffs on him and the idiot screams, "I'm not going back !" You have to wonder why the idiot broke the law in the first place if he doesn't want to go back. Wouldn't the logical thing would be to go straight ? Maybe that's what makes this show so fascinating is that it's a study of human behavior through the eyes of the police. The only thing we have close to this today is probably "Cops" and to a lesser extent, "Police Videos," but like too often, it's the original that is superior.
