I think that most people who watch MeTV will prefer the older shows. There have been some really good shows since but none on this list. I like the older shows for many different reasons: Cars, Pop Culture, Clothing, Music and types of housing and architecture.

100%. Man ya just cant beat the classics!. Sorry but new aint got any sole. The oldies had heroes, and that made me want to emulate that kind of standard as a kid.

It's hard to choose. Considering I don't like most of the old shows and have never seen the new ones. I dunno

100%. Glad we’re all on the same page. I love CHiPs. My favorites are when the slow speed chase involves a forklift. Emergency is also among my favorites. But right now I’m really loving Murder She Wrote. That’s Jessica, I would never want her to visit me. Everywhere she goes someone dies.

Lol. Loved chips. Every car wreck involved at least one car flying into the air and flipping over.

Wasn’t it great when the cop cars had to stop the semi whose breaks went going 80 down hill.

I love when they weave reality into a show lol. Or when the "bad guys" would just stop and hold thier hands up.

I watched about 15 minutes of the new Hawaii 5-0 one time. As Jack Lord would say at the end "Aloha"

90%. I haven't seen any of the new shows that were listed so i really have no criteria to judge with. I've seen all the old shows that were listed. Even if just a few episodes for some.

100% similar. The little snippets of the newer shows I’ve seen are pretty gruesome and disturbing.

It still amazes me how the head of a state police agency can be out on a murder investigation instead sitting behind a desk doing paperwork at the state capitol.

As a kid when H-50 came on CBS, they seem like Elliot Ness and The Untouchables, all Government but small unit.
Ironman,
You are right. Many people mistakenly believe 5-O was a big department but it was a
small elite unit, answerable only to the governor. The remake wasn't near as good,
at times I'd hear the lead's Aussie accent come through. I half expected him to say
"stone the crows", "she'll be right" and "the dingo stole my baby".

100% I think the only crime show that I sometimes watch is NCIS New Orleans.
