Corny as they come, but I really like seeing the older cars in the street scenes, and especially the '77/'78 Monaco A38's in the early seasons. I want one of those. Funny, in the later seasons, they had the R Bodies, and I guess for the lack of ability to smoke the tires with torque, they sure made up for it by going WOT to the scene and bam, lock up the brakes!!! I guess you get tire smoke one way or another lol.
Then of course, Heather Locklear came in sometime after the first season, and it got even easier to watch!!!

Yep, I remember Hunter too! He used to pursue cars by going up onto sidewalks in downtown areas lol. She was "Dee Dee McCall" I think.
Yes, bigtime overacting by the Shat lol. And the toup was awful! Came so far forward, it almost reached his eyebrows

The one I like best is Adam12. Since it was filmed in 69-73? it has lots of musclecars in street scenes. The other day it had one about getting street racers off the street and on the track. It had a nice 70 Roadrunner, Camaro's, Mustang, and a 63-4 Polara. Brings back memories of the good 'ol days! Me too.......that.one was of the best episodes titled "Who Won?"............................I guess also why I like Adam 12 is maybe because "Adam" is police jargon for the letter "A" if I'm not mistaken, making it A12 And my son and I watch Thomas J Hooker also and there are lots of old Mopars in every episode not only cop cars but the bad guys like to drive and crash them the most it seems. Watched a few pretty nice Mopars get smashed and wasted TJ wrecks at least one if not two Mopar cop cars per show........how the heck does he keep his job????? Also TJ solves EVERY case per show, arrests or takes out the bad guy(s) and still he's only a Sargent, you would think they would have promoted him in the four years and five seasons the show was on???

I think green? Dick Clark played the race track owner Yes, tons of great city scenes with cool cars in lots of episodes Mannix was good too when he drove Mopars.

Funny. You're using logic to try to understand a TV show. I can appreciate that since I hear jokes about the durability of the General Lee at almost ever car show! According to Wikipedia, he basically demoted himself............ The background of Sergeant Thomas Jefferson "T.J." Hooker is that he, up until recently, was a plainclothes LCPD Detective Sergeant whose partner was killed in the line of duty while he and Hooker were trying to stop a bank robbery. An angry Hooker becomes motivated to rid the streets of criminals like those who murdered his partner. Thus, he decides the only way to do so is return to his former position as a uniformed patrolman.

Those old shows are classics. We were watching old episodes of " Emergency " Cool they drive a Dodge truck but its pretty funny when at an accident scene the ambulance leaving the scene is a Ford and when it arrives at the hospital its a Chevy. I guess the film editing people aren't car people that would notice. I've seen it on other shows also.
