I was absolutely riveted to my TV as a teenager to watch this show. The settings were totally realistic, the acting was first rate with many excellent ny actors (Pacino, Clayburgh, Martin Sheen) as stars. It didn't hurt that I had a huge crush on Frank Converse as well. The stories were excellent and felt very true to life although that was way before I moved East. I was very upset when the show was canceled. The only other police series that I believe measure up are Naked City and Homicide, Life on the Streets.

Another TV show I recently discovered. I appreciate that it is very different from the usual - but worth - Hollywood stuff. You rapidly recognize here the NY City style, way of filming. You may think of Sidney Lumet's films. Yes, fast paced is the best word to describe this show. Acting performances are absolutely fantastic, Jack Warden at his best. I am very happy to Watch this TV show. I also Watch SWAT in the same time; I also appreciate, but the two are very different. The score is terrific. I don't know if this show has already been aired in France. I don't think so. Anyway, I was too young to remember.

Best TV cop show of the 1960's. I watched the show as a kid. I was8 years old. Real Hardcore NYC background & reality violence.Loved the intro theme song & images of New York. Found a 9 minuteclip 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 hotseller 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.

The recent demise of Jack Warden put me in mind of this good, but forgotten show. I well remember it from the late sixties. It was a tough and rather realistic look at the life in the precinct squad of the NYPD.All three of the regulars here went on to have good careers and other television series. Frank Converse and Robert Hooks as the two detectives and their supervisor Jack Warden belong on anyone's A list of players.NYPD ran for two seasons, got so-so ratings and got the ax. My guess is that it was a generation ahead of its time. It also suffered from the half an hour format. When shows like Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue came on the scene, they were an hour length and there was more time to develop the characters.But those shows and many others owe a debt to NYPD. Hopefully some cable channel will pick it for reruns.
