Best TV cop show of the 1960's. I watched the show as a kid. I was
8 years old. Real Hardcore NYC background & reality violence.
Loved the intro theme song & images of New York. Found a 9 minute
clip and & intro on youtube.com Now if Hawaii-Five0 is on DVD on
its 4th season, how about NYPD coming on DVD. It would be a hot
seller for the boomer generation.
***New York's World Trade Center wasn't even built when this show ran from 1967 thru 1969. WTC started construction in 1970. A great TV show. Running time 30 minutes. Running time 30 minutes. Reflection of turmoil during 1960's urban cities crime problem.

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!

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.

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.
