anyone for doomsday?

I am once again dwelling in the disappointment of modern cop shows not taking after Adam-12 enough and therefore further encouraging hundreds of real life officers to want to play power tripping cowboy more than they want to simply help people. To serve and protect. I should rewatch the whole show for the express purpose of tallying things up by comparison. It would be very, "Jim Reed shown drawing his gun 7 times. Jim Reed shown filing a report 6,509,238 times." "Pete Malloy in a foot chase 14 times. Pete Malloy helping citizens do mundane things ∞ times."

I like how all the Mark VII Limited shows (Emergency, Dragnet, Adam 12) take place in the same universe, but there’s like one episode of Emergency where the characters are watching Adam 12? There’s only one possible explanation: The Dimensional Merge happened in the Mark VII Limited Cinematic Universe. (MVLCU)

Casual binging Adam 12 does so much to enhance the character development you only get little glimpses of per episode tbh. S1 Pete trying hard not to settle down, while Jim keeps talking about how he's painting different rooms in his house and preparing for baby - fantastic.

This show is entirely bare bones on anything not the officers' work, but somehow they still managed to give us more compelling character arcs (Pete from jaded despondency to fulfilled contentment, and Jim from naive and scared to competent and assured) than many shows that focused on the character drama every other episode.

Yes please watch Adam 12 totally on its own merit and not just so I have someone to talk to about it 😭 (for realz tho, it's so so good, I love Pete and Jim with my whole heart. it has some campy moments and some cons of being a product of its time in some areas, but you can tell the heart of the writing was genuine even then and it still treats those subjects as well or better than most of its peers.) Also it's **funny as heck** as well as ripping your heart out. I haven't seen much of The Rookie but from what I hear, you're 100% correct. I love love love procedural dramas but I'll never be able to quite look at them the same after seeing Adam 12 do things the way everyone has since decided the genre isn't able to do.

I relate to that SO HARD I'm not gonna lie. Also fun fact, my sister saw the post about Adam 12 that I reblogged and IMMEDIATELY went to go put it on hold at the library, because it's not on any of our streaming services. So yeah we're definitely gonna check this out!! Your propaganda for it is 101 percent successful-- I really, really love me a show that's funny as heck while also ripping my heart out. And it'll be nice to watch a show where the cops aren't committing atrocities every five second (*fake cough* Chicago PD *fake cough*)

Anyways I digress. Thank you for the accidental rec, I'm so excited to check this show out!!
