Streethawk, I'd imagine, or possibly Sledgehammer.

"In the Heat of the Night"
(squeaked that one in there...it started in 1988 )
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
The first few seasons of Miami Vice. Towards the end, it kinda became a little too full of itself. Or at least Don Johnson did. :)
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
It was definitely S.W.A.T.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
Definately Cop Rock, or was that 90's?
Just Kidding... another vote for Hill Street Blues
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
Most definitely Hunter. I thought that Stephanie Kramer (McCall) was a hottie!!! Loved the great chemistry between her and Fred Dryer... :)
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
80's Trivia - I also thought Stephanie Kramer was a hottie in the 80's. Then I saw an episode of 'Hunter' a few months back on TBS, and realized Stephanie had a good makeup artist ;-).
Never was big on the 80's cop dramas, so my answer is 'Police Squad!'. Was a short-lived series on CBS, I believe...

Not to be picky but, I believe that show is from the 1970's :)

S.W.A.T. was a Seventies show.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
I vote TJ Hooker.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
"Spencer For Hire" mostly because it was filmed here at home in Boston. (and mom had the biggest crush on his sidekick, Hawk, I believe.)
And Cagney & Lacey.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
I liked "Vegas" because Robert Urich was suave. I also liked "C.H.I.P.S" even though Erik Estrada got under my skin.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
Matt Houston...YUMMY!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone like Magnum P.I.? It was by far, my favorite 80's detective show. I don't consider it a "Cop" show because he was not a policeman...I say this as I just posted about Cop shows
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
For that matter...no one mentioned Vegas either.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
Another vote here for "Hill Street Blues." Besides, I had a crush on the guy who played Det. Garibaldi (Ken Olin). Okay, I still like Ken Olin.

My apologies J.C....I did not see your post mentioning Vegas and said no one had mentioned it. RIP Robert Urich.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
i would have to say miami vice and and i also loved the equalizer, anybody remember that one? :D
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
Yes, I do. Edward Woodward was the title character. I saw a rerun with Kevin Spacey as the bad guy on A & E a while back.

Hill Street Blues, no doubt about it.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
"Sledge Hammer!" and "Police Squad!" by far....
As an aside... were'nt both "Matt Houston" and "Magnum" both Private Inverstigators? (Obviously "Magnum" was; the show was "Magnum, P.I") If we are naming favorite P.I.'s, I'd have to say "Simon and Simon". ;) What a babe-dilly-isious man the blonde one was! I remember him when he played "Brad" on "One Life To Live"... what was his name?

J.C., I'm the president of the "thirtysomething" fan club! I own every episode on tape, except for one. (Bravo never showed "Legacy"-the one where Michael and Elliot were almost in a plane crash-after 9-11.) I watch "Alias" just in case Ken makes an appearance. (He's the executive producer.) He's been on the show a few times this season, but they left his storyline open.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
C.H.I.P.S would have to be my favorite Cop show in the 80's. I didn't really watch a lot of the other shows.
Subject: Re: Favorite 80's Cop Show
Anybody remember the show "StingRay"? Came out in like '85 or something. I think that was catagorized as a cop show. It actually wasn't my favorite cop show, but I remember watching it pretty much. I think it only lasted 1 or 2 seasons though. :-/

Izod, `Stingray` ran in 1986/87 and starred Canadian actor Nic Mancuso. In the series, he drove a vintage Corvete Stingray got people out of trouble in exchange for a favour that he would collect on in the future.
