Police Story [NBC, 1973] (crime anthology)

     (NBC Primetime, 1973 - 1977;
      ABC Primetime, 1988)

     [Created by author and former policeman Joseph Wambaugh...
      this series was set in the Los Angeles Police Department A. D.
      (after "Dragnet") -- it attempted to portray the stories
      of cases more realistically using the anthology approach
      (no stars, just a variety of actors); after a solid 4-year run
      on NBC; a few new episodes were put into production and aired
      on ABC during a writers strike]
