A cop show, while at the same time a family show. It's amazing how they can have six seasons of action packed episodes, filling an hour time slot, but only having a gun drawn three times in the entire series! No filth, no gore and grime, just good old fashioned American television before it was all about shooting people and naked women. 5/5 stars

Sideswipe Was Here
March 18, 2017
As soon as I saw this show I fell in love and had to get the DVD. Both my parents grew up with it so they were more then happy to get the four seasons available for me and now we occasionally watch it together. I just love how it portrays that cops are good, not bad. I wish more shows like this were made today instead of all these senseless/no-plot shows around now.
