    The Best Show of All Time!

    I was a cop for 10 years, and High Incident is the greatest cop show I have ever seen. It captured the true emotion, tension, fast pace and sheer panic of police work better than anything I have ever seen. I would drop everything to make sure I was home on High Incident night, and so did all of my fellow cop friends. It was as true to life as you will ever get. David Keith and Cole Hauser were as believable as the guys that I worked the streets with. It was truly a sad day in my life when I found out that it had been cancelled. I honestly thought that show would become a television fixture along the lines of LA LAW and NYPD Blue. Just goes to show that people don't know a good thing when they have one. If anyone knows how I can get episode copies, please post here or email me Thanks!

    One of the best dramas that should have lasted longer than 2 seasons.

    This will always be one of my favorite shows. I only wished I could have seen more than two seasons worth of this masterpiece. The only reason this show did not survive is the fact that there are millions of idiots who watched the awful show "Friends." I am glad to see that the majority of the cast have went on to bigger things and best of luck to them. How could ABC leave us with such a huge cliffhanger? Is Officer Mike Rhoades going to awake from his coma? Would Officer Len Guyer being paralized after a gun shot a misdiagnosis? Please, Spielberg, make a movie with the very same characters of this series.

    They always cancel the best shows

    My husband and I waited eagerly each week to watch "High Incident." We figured if Steven Spielberg was associated with it, then it had to be good. We were right. This was absolutely the best cop show we had seen up to that time. I can't believe the network canceled it without giving it a chance. We were bitterly disappointed. This show was way better than Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue and look how long they lasted. The characters were all believable and the story lines were well written. Many of the actors in this show were relatively unknown when it started and they have gone on to bigger and better things. If there were any way to get this show back on the air, we would be thrilled. I hope they will release all the episodes on DVD so we can watch them again. The network executives don't know jack when it comes to what's great and what is just mediocre and boring. They keep all those horrible shows on for years but cancel an excellent show like "High Incident." What a shame.

    just as real life

    "High Incident" is one of the best police dramas i have seen and believe me I have seen a lot. The emphasis of this show was not the action, but the drama. This doesn't mean there isn't enough action. There is a lot of action to be enjoyed. But when you see the cops at work, you get involved with the characters and sometimes you will hate them, just as real life. The acting is excellent. I cannot understand that a show this great can be cancelled after two seasons, while a c****y show like "Walker, Texas Ranger" can go on and on and on. "High Incident" must come back.

    A big time letdown(by ABC, not the show)

    I could not believe that this one ended the way it did. This show was one of the only redeeming things about television while it was on. The actors meshed well and it blended nicely the humor and seriousness it was portraying. I was in disbelief when I heard it wouldn't be back after the second season. This is a show that should NOT have been taken off TV because it was good, and when shows like the Nanny can be on for like 8 seasons or whatever this one deserved more than it got. One of the best TV shows ever.
