All 22 Original Episodes from 1974 & 1975


Created by ex-cop-turned-acclaimed author Joseph Wambaugh (The Onion Field), Police Story details the lives of LAPD officers in an anthology of realistic and gritty accounts of what it meant to carry a badge in 1970s Los Angeles. The hit series became a major influence of many critically acclaimed shows that followed, including Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue and Homicide: Life On The Street.


Police Story stood apart from its predecessors by presenting a multidimensional, very human portrayal of its protagonists: depicting officers of the law not as blandly implacable sentinels of justice, but as complex individuals capable of great heroism and simple fallibility.


Featuring a veritable who’s who of classic television actors (including Edward Asner, William Shatner, Larry Hagman, Lloyd Bridges, Patty Duke, Robert Culp, Tina Louise, Chuck Connors, and more) Police Story’s terrific second season is a long-awaited addition to the DVD library of fans everywhere.
