Police Story (1973-1977)

Police Story was an anthology series that ran on NBC network from 1973-1977. It was created by Joseph Wambaugh ,the successful novelist and 14 year veteran L.A.P.D. police officer (1960-1974), and is notable for being the first series to depict police officers as humans instead of machines - warts and all. It is considered to be the archetype for later dramatic police series such as Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, and Homicide: Life on the Street. Several notable actors appeared in this series including Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Jan-Michael Vincent, Alex Cord, Erik Estrada, and Angie Dickinson (whose episode she appeared in became the pilot for her series Police Woman).
