My first intro to James Earl Jones was watching this episode way back in '69! I was floored by his performance and followed him since. Rest in peace with the ancestors, Sir.
Omg!!! I remember this episode as a kid (particularly the scene when the hippie kids stopped the dope addicts and then had a fight). These episodes showed a realism and a film lighting that was never really seen in other tv police shows. Thanks for putting this up man!!!!
I totally agree ! I remember when this show was on the air when I was a youngster but never got a chance to see any episodes. I especially love the vintage commercials ! Many thanks to Dwight Frye for sharing with us !! :-)
Thanks for sharing this bodacious "blast from the past" with us ! I figured James Earl Jones had his head shaved for his Broadway role in "The Great White Hope" & the credits proved me right ! He repeated the role in the 1970 film version, which netted him a nomination for a Best Actor Oscar.
Cop Shows from the 1960s are in a class by themselves. I love N.Y.P.D. I'm watching my fourth episode. I'm watching the episodes out of order and I am watching different seasons. Yesterday I watched 1967 season. Today I am watching 1968 season. Very well acted, well scripted. Interesting story lines. I hope to find this series on DVD or VHS. It's really good. I like the music that is featured in the episodes.
GREAT CLASSIC POLICE SERIES BACK IN THE 1960S FILMED IN THE REAL STREETS OF NEW YORK VERY REALISTIC 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟BETTER THAN ANY POLICE SERIES YOU CAN VIEW NOW THE WAY IT REALLY WAS BACK THEN
The reason this was good was it was done in Manhattan. I think it was on ABC for 3 years 1967-1969. Jack Warden was a good actor. He did a lot of good stuff back in the 60s and 70s. He was funny in Shampoo.
I love the adverts - Janitor In A Drum (2:01)! I remember that (I remember the joke about it, as well😉, though I can't repeat it in these 'modern' times).
Season 4 premiered on the show's new night in Canada, Mondays @ 10/10:30PM in Nfld. and in the U.S. on Wednesdays @ 10/9PM CT Beginning the week of September 13!
Pre- Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader aka Candy Man: The 1960s (Circa Planet Earth 1969) And then by 1977...in eight years - he embraced to the dark side...of the universe.
While this may not be the first TV Police show based in New York, I think it's the first to push the edge of the envelope in the way they covered topics like homosexuality and heroin addiction. I was never allowed watch this show when it was on. First season I was in a Catholic Boarding School and The Nuns controlled the TV. Second season and thereafter my parents were on an anti TV violence trip. Today I am a successful and diabolical Professional Villain. Oh, and I like the commercials too.
Fort Apache! Came across this old movie with Paul Newman, then the next day the actual documentary! And they still bash Rudy Giuliani after he cleaned up the hell hole. Bloomberg radicalized stop & frisk but they blame Rudy.
DANM RIGHT! WHEN YOU BEEN TO THE VALLY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, AND YOU COME BACK ALIVE, YOU'RE MUCH HIPPER TO WHATS GOING ON THEN SOMEONE WHO NEVER MADE THAT TRIP! WE SHOULD TELL THAT TO THESE PHONEY REHAB JOINTS! 🦃
Yep, that's him ! His head was shaved because when he did this guest appearance he was appearing on Broadway as boxer Jack Jefferson in "The Great White Hope" (which he recreated in the 1970 film version).
When? do you know who owns the rights? because i own the Worldvision Enterprises TV presskit to the show,along with an 8x10 ABC color photograph. because this TV series was produced by Talent Associates, i'm assuming that the rights are either HBO or CBS TV Distribution. Worldvision Enterprises was once the subsidiary of Taft Broadcasting, but was sold to Aaron Spelling's company, Spelling Entertainment, which was sold to CBS in 2000. the rerun rights used to be ABC Films, circa 1970, but they became Worldvision Enterprises by around 1973, which syndicated "NYPD" and its 49 episode run, so i'd sure like to know who'll be releasing this old ABC series on DVD.
Actors of note: Graham Jarvis (1930-2003) character actor who had appeared in "Naked City", "All In The Family" "Cagney and Lacey" and ended his career on "7th Heaven" as "Charles Jackson Matthew Cowles (1944-2014) Playwright and actor, known mainly as pimp "Billy Clyde Tuggle" on "All My Children". He also appeared in "Slapshot" with Paul Newman. He was married to actress Christine Baranski until his death. Barbara Colby (1939-1975) Appeared in "The Odd Couple", "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Phyllis". Died of gunshot wounds on July 24, 1975, murder case still unsolved.
Also did a 'Columbo' - 'Murder By The Book' .. w / Jack Cassidy , Martin Milner ... ... great episode .🙂😍.. I believe it was the highest - rated 'Columbo' episode ... ever ... directed by Steven Spielberg ...🙂 .. Cassidy 🙏🕯️🏆.. 🌻🥀🌼🌺💮🌹🌸🏵️💮🌹💐the best villian ... ever ...👍👍 .
Damn,James Earl Jones was young and skinny back in the days.Now old and chubby now,reminded me of myself,skinny and young now i'm chubby fat old man like him.
And by a strange coincidence, Frank Converse's other 1967 TV series "CORONET BLUE" is also scheduled to be released on DVD soon. CBS produced and aired the 13 episode series, so i wouldn't be too surprised if CBS Paramount releases both this and "NYPD". David Susskind had formed Talent Associates, which has a fair library of TV shows like "GET SMART!",(1965-70) "RUN BUDDY RUN" (1966), and "EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE" (1963), which they co-produced with CBS and United Artists Television.

Good day…..Belated reply: Those kids/teenagers were not hippies. Hippies advocated nonviolence and love.
Wow this is good! And what a soundtrack! It's non-stop, it increases the tempo and creates so much drama/tension that wouldn't exist otherwise.
I don't know how you got ahold of these but thanks for putting them up!!! A real treat.
I totally agree ! I remember when this show was on the air when I was a youngster but never got a chance to see any episodes. I especially love the vintage commercials ! Many thanks to Dwight Frye for sharing with us !! :-)
I didn't start watching till 1968. I really loved this show. This and "The FBI".
Phenomenal incidental music!
Excellent series I have to entire series on DVD.
*Damn I never knew that James Earl Jones and William Devane were junkies at one time! lol*
This Should Be On DVD In Time For The 50th Anniversary Restored And Digitally Remastered. ME-TV Should Air This Series. Or Decades Or Maybe COZI-TV.
I too would love to see MeTV carry this gritty 60s TV police drama ! I'm so tired of them showing the same old shows all the time....

Two seasons (49 episodes) September 1967 - March 1969.
'50's also .... Liked Jack Warden.... Was good in ' Shampoo ' , good actor ... I miss him....
Hooks and Converse were solid as well, but Warden really had the gravitas to be believable as a veteran police lieutenant.
Why is there no soundtrack available? Frigging awesome scores.
“Come on, you jive turkeys. What kind of rundown is this? Look, man, I gotta get back to the streets where I come from, sucker.”

Only in 1967 could you have groovy music on a police show ❤😂
Original airdate: Monday September 20 & 27 @ 10/10:30PM in Newfoundland in Canada; Wednesday September 22 & 29 @ 10/9PM CT/MT in the U.S.!
The show aired in the U.S. on Tuesdays...
The Bomber and Wire Finish, both from the first season in 1967. Hope you have them to post!
This N.Y.P.D. T.V series (1967) should be on both the Decades or ME-TV Cable Networks.
I totally agree !! MeTV needs to shake up its line up and this series would be a welcome addition !!

I Used To Watch This With My Mom And My Late Dad. On ABC Tuesdays At 9:30 PM. When Did The Episode Really Air.
(Part I) Feb 11, 1969; (Part II) Feb 18, 1969. And yes, both were Tuesdays.

Yep, that's him ! His head was shaved because when he did this guest appearance he was appearing on Broadway as boxer Jack Jefferson in "The Great White Hope" (which he recreated in the 1970 film version).

Great show
Janitor in a Drum has the guy who was the Voice of the ABC for the 1970s and the 1980s as the announcer.
Ernie Anderson.
This was a brilliant show with top notch actors! Would love to have the entire series on Amazon Prime!
Reminds me...need to get me some more of that Janitor in a Drum™, oh, anna pack of Kools!
This Series Will Be On DVD.

Decades played this one weekend a few months ago. Good, classic tv. I wish this series was on dvd.
They Put On Developmental Disability Shows.
Janitor in a drum, or as my Brother used to say "man in a barrel", worked great and I liked the smell. Probably caused cancer I suppose.
Yea,I remember getting a little sample drum of it in the mail,probably in 1965 or 66.Dont think we ever used any of it,and it is still sitting up on a shelf.
It caused clean bathrooms and burning pine-eye
2:01--And doesn't that sound like Ernie Anderson for Janitor in a Drum? (I would think so.)
