N.Y.P.D.

I really do hope this 1960's television series was saved in the libraries of cinema excellence. It would be great if the entire series was cleaned up and released in Blu Ray format. The stories were always so real and the cops who worked the cases were so much better than that other good reality type TV series, Dragnet.

The racism, rape and murder epidemic was in full swing in the 1960's of New York city and these stories were presented in a format that has still been locked in my memory banks some fifty years now.

If the owners of this superb crime/drama TV series are listening please consider releasing this two season television series on Blu Ray and I know there are enough fans of reality cop shows that don't need CGI, or T&A to maintain our attention.

I loved this TV series and I rate it a 9 out of 10 rating. It was fantastic!

I sat through many episodes of NYPD 1967 when I was a kid which kept me riveted and in suspense. I just thought it was so exciting to look at and I can clearly remember talking about it the next day after it aired with my 3rd Grade schoolmates who were watching also. As i remember, the show was basically about 3 NYPD detectives cracking interesting cases in NYPD. Each show was 30 minutes which made them brisk and right to the point !

Some of the episodes i remember clearly remember which were great was one with Jon Voight as a mad bomber. Then there was one when Detective Corso posed as a bum to entrap some muggers. There was another one with the guy who was on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (I think the actor's name was Graham Jarvis) who was troubled (i forget why) but decides to take his aggression out on a rooftop with a high powered rifle. This was suspenseful stuff.

The opening of the show with the theme song and camera close up of the the flashing red siren and the announcer saying "NYPD......in color) is classic 60's nostalgia.

N.Y.P.D. is a series which aired for 2 seasons (1967-69) on ABC. It is a cop show which follows 3 detectives and the cases they get assigned and solve. I Had never heard of the show until they showed it on Decades in 2020 and i ended up binging it. Very good 1/2 hour show with a virtual who's who as far as guess stars (James Earl Jones, Ossie Davis, William Devane among others. well worth watching a few episodes.

This series sounds very interesting with many stars-to-be appearing. It will be shown on Decades TV.

N.Y.P.D is not a well known television series, and it is often confused with the NYPD Blue series from the 1990s. This is unfortunate, because this original series represents some of the best writing from 1960s television.

American network television was still pretty timid in the 1960s, often refusing to deal with the more unsavory realities of the nation; urban decay, corruption, poverty, racism, sexism and homophobia.

N.Y.P.D featured a racially integrated cast - as criminals and cops - and is probably one of the first network T.V. shows in America to look at gay Americans as a civil rights issue, through two episodes.

Many - if not most - of the episodes were based on actual criminal cases, and the overall result is an incredibly well done crime drama that was way ahead of its time.

Yes, you can certainly tell that this television series is a product of the 1960s. The series only lasted two seasons, which may help explain why it fell into relative obscurity.
