Adam 12 - The Best Cop Show Ever!

Remember when cop shows didn't feature shirtless tattooed guys?  One of the best cop shows ever was Adam 12.  I enjoyed it when I was a kid and, when I can find it, I still enjoy it now.  It was based on true stories from the files of the LAPD.  The contrast between the LAPD depicted in this show and the troubled LAPD depicted in the gritty and violent television show The Shield is amazing.

Adam 12 currently airs daily on the Antenna TV.  My favorite episode as a kid was the one where Malloy and Reed attempt to subdue a really big and powerful suspect.  At one point in their fight, I remember the suspect put Reed in a helicopter spin.  (It was cool when I was 12 or 13!)  Adam 12 is always DVR worthy television and it's a great way to spend 30 minutes!
