Like a photograph in time - Chucky
A lot of cop shows from the 70's and 80's were usually a load of right wing propiganda. Teo notable exceptions are The Rookies and Hill Street Blues. Don't get me wrong with few exceptions (S,W.A.T.) I liked most of the cop shows out there right wing or otherwise but this series, "The Rookies" has something to say about personal responsability and how you can be a tough guy without being a thug. Having Kate Jackson all through the series doesn't hurt either. I hope you will take some time to see how some people tried to make a difference by producing something of this calaber.
