This is classic television at its best. I don't why this show is not on dvd and I am glad that some episodes have been put on TH-cam. It is way overdue for a DVDs release.
Great tv series! I didn’t know what gritty meant until I watched this show as a kid. Love the original commercials too. That Bic flamingo commercial was an all time favorite. Forgot about it until today.
ABC Films later became Worldvision Enterprises as a result of the FCC ruling that prohibited TV networks from syndicating their shows at the time. CBS also created Viacom, which was an outgrowth of the network. Worldvision became a division of The Taft Broadcasting Co and was later sold to Aaron Spelling's Spelling Entertainment in the 1990s, and by 2000, Viacom brought Spelling Entertainment and its assets, which included Worldvision Enterprises and Republic Pictures Corporation, as of this week in August 2019, Viacom and CBS re-emerged. but "NYPD" has yet to see any DVD release, but it's a sure bet that CBS TV Distribution owns the 1967-69 ABC/Talent Associates, Ltd TV series with 49 half-hour shows in color!
I'd forgotten the melody for the Pine Sol jingles. Who else here had a pair of flamenco boots back then? Mine were made in Mexico by the CANADA shoe company (lol!)
other than the bic pens (which ended up in landfills) everything in the commercials was bad for ya. thought the series was great , well acted gritty & real.
We are now so jaded because serious crimes happen every second in the big cities. Back then a liquor store robbery was a big deal. Now looting is not a crime in many Democrat controlled cities.

Wow ! Thanks for all that fascinating background info !
Considering James Earl had a real Jones for those plastic-tipped cigars, perhaps Tiparillos should have been a sponsor
I remember 60s TV commercials for "Tiparillos" when I was a kid. A pretty lady would say "Cigars ? Cigarettes ? Tiparillos ?"
This Series Should Be On DVD.
I totally agree !
This Should Be Restored And Remastered.
I agree 100 per cent !!
I also agree 💯 on the mark
I gotta admit, Bic pens are still good pens.
I heartily concur !!
Write 1st time and every time.
“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.”
I Like Old School TV Shows.
I have a notion to second that emotion ! I love vintage TV programs !!
The Bic Clic pen has a color called "Curious Yellow"...this show's copyright date is 1968--I AM CURIOUS YELLOW didn't come out until 1969.
True but I think in Sweden, it was released in 1967.
ABC Films Distributed The TV Series.
Jones at his most furious.
William Devane was definitely hot on "Knots Landing" and James Earl Jones...hotter here!
They couldn't use Herbie's "confession" in court because it was given under extreme duress.
This episode brought to you through video camera aimed at a Zenith™ with bad color rods.
James Earl Jones! What do you know? It's hard to imagine that he was young 😇😊
Great show and Great city was the Best of times
A Very young Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) is the main man who doesn't want to be messed with......
1969.......
Why are so many of these actors yelling? James Earl Jones constantly over emphasis of his words especially when he gets angry, is distracting.
Yeah, I find that irritating, too.
I'd forgotten the melody for the Pine Sol jingles. Who else here had a pair of flamenco boots back then? Mine were made in Mexico by the CANADA shoe company (lol!)
@25:30 "This, is Antonio Santajuellio: Locked in the heal of his boot, is a Bic™ pen."
And all crime tv shows it has maybe happy endings or NO happy endings at all just dramatic endings and in NYPD too!
"We don't frame people" says the cop. Then came Serpico and we all knew that was a LIE!
The cast includes Barbara Colby, who was later brutally murdered in Hollywood after being cast to co-star with Cloris Leachman in PHYLLIS.
Also William Divine 😏
When was the last time you actually saw a cigarette Commercial on television? It's now July 17th 2020.
Did he say candyman 5 times in the mirror
other than the bic pens (which ended up in landfills) everything in the commercials was bad for ya. thought the series was great , well acted gritty & real.
How was Breck © shampoo bad /. unhealthy /. dangerous for a person ?!?? ..... 🤨🤔😮☹️🤑
@@jmason2838 And Pine-Sol is only bad for you if you drink it rather than clean with it.
When Did This Episode Really Air. CBS Television Distribution Distribute TV Series.
According to IMDB,it was shown on February 18,1969.
I saw it on a Phila ABC affiliate in 1969 WFIL Channel 6
Monday nights High School Days
I Am Not Into Reality Shows.
A two-part episode for a penny ante burglary. Jeez.
Clearly the burglary is not the driving issue...
We are now so jaded because serious crimes happen every second in the big cities. Back then a liquor store robbery was a big deal. Now looting is not a crime in many Democrat controlled cities.
Great series! You only showed 1/4th of a 2 part episode. THANKS FOR NOTHING!
