Police Woman

While not the first show to depict a female police officer on tv, Police Woman was the first to show how she does it in an hour. The show, which ran for four seasons and has seen popularity in reruns and on dvd and streaming, stars Angie Dicksinson, once married to Burt Bacharach and whose daughter commited suicide at the age of 40, who is still alive and kicking at 88.

In the Summer of 1975, not so long ago, this was the NUMBER ONE show on television, and was the TOP SHOW in many of the countries around the world in which it aired.How many people know this?

This started a movement in TV crime shows where females weren't just the passive victims of male dominated fantasy crimes. This lady hit back.

I am a huge Angie Dickinson fan. I was very young when Police Woman aired on NBC but I remember bits and pieces of it.

Angie Dickinson will forever be my Crush. Police Woman was in an era where we had foxy brown .

After I graduated from college, had a job, I'd sit in my single-girl's apartment, watching this show about a single woman working. In 1977-1978, the network would show Policewoman, Kojak and another cop show after the late night news.

This TV show is not my favourite, but it remains nevertheless typical from the seventies, although I prefer POLICE STORY. Most of the episodes of this series are made for family audiences, under fifty housewives and plots not so interesting, but except for the seventies atmosphere.

Here's another example of a higher plane of quality 70's crime drama. Police Woman has much more believable scenarios, and better actors, say to other shows around that time, or T.
