I almost never watched this when it was on, back in the Sixties, caught a few episodes on some digital channel the other night and was impressed by its mix of realism and police procedural. Strong character development, too, for supporting players, whether victims or perps. It's worth a look.

I agree with not remaking classic cop shows. I offer
CHiPs (2017)
as a recent example. From what I've read, it is trashy, which is an insult to the "good guy" image of the original show. It's no wonder none of the original cast still alive are involved.
These shows were great in their time and IMO unless again set in that time would lose quality. For example, I watched a number of episodes of
Highway Patrol (1955)
this year when it was on ME TV. Doing a 2017 version of that would suck IMO. In one of my reviews for an episode, I noted it showed an America that no longer exists.
Contemporary for the time cop shows can be great. I saw a mention of
Homicide: Life on the Street (1993)
here and I'll add my favorite,
Robbery Homicide Division (2002)
.

"Police Story." created by Joseph Wambaugh, ex-cop, turned author offered some of the most realistic stories on tv at the time.

I would love to see The Saint but with much more action and slightly more gritty. I loved the Rodger Moore adventures and I thought The Ian Ogalvy (cant spell!) Ones were much better than given credit for. The Simon Dutton efforts had all the ingredients but lacked conviction. An updated version with a more brutal Saint could entertain.

Let's go way back and bring back Highway Patrol; where nobody was "careful out there" and John Goodman could play Dan Mathews.

The Wirewith original cast.

CRIME STORY

I'm not sure if anyone remember this show but New York Undercover. That was my show to watch in the 90's. I would try to tune in every Thursday on FOX that it was on TV. When the show was on one of the main cast members was killed off and another cast member was killed off and then the next season after was kind of dull without the one main cast and the show fell off.fans lost hope in the show. If this show was to air again I think it should continue where it was a dream and everyone is alive.

I personally think it would be fun just to see a reunion movie on some of them. And I am not hell bent on reviving them nor would I want anyone but the original cast. However it is a fun idea to talk about. However people have different opinions on things and it fun to hear those different ideas and opinions. Like the new Five-0 I don't watch it and don't want to it should have been left the way it was. Now if they could do a reunion with the original cast Yeah I would watch it. However I believe most of the cast is now passed. This is of course my opinion and not everyone would enjoy talking about the idea or watching them. As you stated in your opinion there is no need for them. Hopefully that answers your question. Thanks for sharing you thoughts.

Why are you and so many people hell bent on reviving old cop shows or any calssic TV show for that matter?
There's no reason for it.

well maybe not the first but Steven Bocho's hill street blues and his short lived Cop Rock that had some HSB cast both used the line 'Let's Be Careful Out There' after the briefing. On Cop Rock he sings the line 'LETS BE CAREFUL OUT THERE' in a rather dramatic fashion in song.

For new shows I love Criminal Minds although 7 season so far. Derek is awesome. I so want to be Garcia like on the computer.
I also enjoy Law and order svu.
Never got into CSI but the mentalist is pretty good.

As far as the "new" cop showsI like flash point.

The original sgt ended roll call with "let's be careful out there" the sgt that replace him ended it with "let's do it to them before they do it to us."

I did not know that was where the name came form. Learned something new today. That makes it a good day.
The first cop show I can remember hearing "be careful out three" was Adam-12 it was said at the end of every before shift briefing. The line was also use many time on CHIPS. Not sure if Adam 12 started it but that is mt first memory of hearing that line.

yes wasps that would be nice..
a bit of trivia on that(suposedly)the name came from a place in Pgh.PA called the Hill District. Not sure if that's where they were suppose to be or not.
I sorta remember the quote. So, where was the quote "Be careful out there" from???

I don't remember that exact quote, However I wish they would show it in syndication would love to rewatch it.

You took the words right out of my mouth, that's exactly what I was thinking.
I liked this phrase from the sergeant: "do it to them before they do it to you."
Remember that one?

I haven't even thought about hill street blues in forever.

Starsky & Hutch is a good one.
But for me I'd like to see Hill Street Blues.

Homicide was a great show. Never Seen Cracker.

I wish Homicide: Life on the Streets would return with the original cast.
Would also like more episodes of the British cop show, Cracker.
