Premiering in September of 1968, Adam-12 portrayed the trials and tribulations of two LAPD officers making their rounds. Sometimes the adventures were funny, sometimes they were heart-wrenching. More often than not, they were a mix of both.

You got 11 out of 12
You've got experience. You're no fresh-faced academy recruit!
Missed #11
What happens, when you go too fast?
You stub your toe, and you miss one question.

12 out of 12! I broke my ankle in 2013 and watched every single episode of Adam-12 repeatedly while I was recovering. I watched them UNCUT on Antenna TV. Shame on MeTV for hacking these great shows to pieces. SHAME!!!!!
Now that is what I'm talking about - 12/12! Kent McCord's age was the one I had to think about for a moment. But got it.
I live this show so much! It’s inspired me to become a cop! I’m 15, I got 10/12!!!
12/12. I’ve got experience. I’m no fresh-faced recruit. You can say that again. I was already married when “Adam-12” debuted. (Sigh)
They also did rear projection for some shots. Also, Malloy had several girlfriends over the run of the show, not just Judy at the end of the show.
