farnump you were so right, you just said it all, that is so true!!! I love these 1970's tv shows intros, the music was just so amazing, music the clothing, the cars, even the landscaping was just so cool, when I watch it I just can't take my eyes out, it's just so much to see and so much things you can use for creating anything, Bless the American good old days tvs shows.
Back when tv was worth watching. We got 4 channels and there was almost always something good on. Today we have 50 channels and almost always there is nothing worth watching.
Regardles of how tough and mean they think they are now; 0:00 to 0:20 is still the most vicious meanest intro of any cop show to date. Superb simply superb.
Michael Douglas announced he is bringing it back as a movie.He will be playing Karl Malden's character and Ashton Kutcher will play Douglas's original character.
@Isotec1 old cop young cop feel alright on awarm sanfransican night like naked city are you sure he wasnt in the tv reunion it wasnt a qm thing and he was too big so they made him a homicide victim of a hommicidal maniac
The best thing to come out of this town since Mcqueens bullit. A totally unique city it is appropiate that it has hosted some of the most unique material. Most of the areas where this series was filmed particularly around the fishermans wharf area has not changed much was there last year to retrace the bullit locations.A city one never gets tired of revisiting.
This reminds everybody of The Police Squad parody because the announcer is the same - Hank Simms. Simms announced all the Quinn Martin shows in the 70s (Barnaby Jones, Cannon, Dan August, etc.) and also did Mission Impossible. When the Police Squad producers developed their parody, they naturally sought out Hank Simms. The Police Squad theme is actually a steal from the 50s cop show "M Squad" with Lee Marvin
@spacepatrolman I wonder what M squad stands for is it murder squad or is it after L squad in one episode a guy breaks out of jail and kills somebody to steal his clothes
I love that opening. I grew up in SF and watched it all the time especially on reruns. After living in SF I can see all the F**k ups Hollywood makes when the show is suppose to be in SF but most of the show is in LA or some back lot.
@gianthairyvagina The only other thing I ever saw him in was The Twilight Zone episode "Man in the Bottle". I guess he was pretty well known in the 60's and 70's. Many of the stars of today will be forgotten in the next 20 years so it is all relative.
As a lifelong resident of the SF Bay Area, I always enjoyed watching this show. It's amazing how the San Francisco depicted in the series is a far cry from the freak show of today. What a sad collapse of a once great city.
@Archangel101576 You mean being a huge center for cutting-edge global technology and a bunch of Fortune 500 companies? I WISH my city could "collapse" like that. Did everyone in the olden days whine as much as you?
@jacobkosh Unfortunately, not everyone views wealth solely in materialistic and economic terms as you've been brainwashed to do. Decency, common sense, and high expectations of behavior are more relevant to some of us than the presence of Fortune 500 companies. These values are clearly rare in today's SF, which has turned it into a laughingstock and freak show. Yes, I'd call that a collaspe! And to paraphrase your own words, is everyone today as ignorant and undemanding of good conduct as you?
@Archangel101576 A "freak show"? Get real. Maybe you should experiment with being less of a coward. You want values? Here's mine: I don't tolerate cringing weakness like yours. You''re living in the 21st century, champ, and you can either pussy out and whine about it or you can get on board.
You failed to mention the streets being full of aids-infested faggots and used needles, drug addicts sleeping in every other doorway, tons of illegal aliens sucking the welfare system dry.
@tradernorton05 And yet I'd rather be there than anywhere with a sobbing coward like you. What's it like being such a huge pussy? What's it like being so *weak*?
@tradernorton05 It doesn't work that way - you don't get to call people pussy after you just admitted to spending your free time crying yourself to sleep about immigrants and gays. That makes you weak. That makes you unfit. That makes you inferior. And if the Army made you that way, well, it's no wonder they're such a pack of fuck-ups.
@freakette55 You are right -- the shows we have nowadays are painful and they clearly indicate where our societies are heading . . . fast ! It is scary! Wish you the best with your present ordeal. You can overcome it!
As a kid growing up in England during the 70's almost all American cop shows seemed fantastic to me. It was a glimpse in to a different world of huge buildings and huge cars.... and lot's of sunshine!!!!
Another great police show to come out of the 1970s. Karl Malden was always great and Michael Douglas called him a "great co-star & mentor". Always fun to see who the guest stars would be every show too. Thanks for posting.
I agree with eurodishco -- 60s & 70s dramas and cop shows (especially Quinn Martin's) had strong, unmistakable themes that were punchy and dramatic. Today shows are sort of generic and wishy-washy. But the QM announcer was a bit overly terse and dramatic -- today he makes me think of the parody intros on Police Squad.

@WilliamDRowlett Luther Adler was primarily a stage actor of Russian Jewish lineage, born NYC, who did a lot of TV (but not much on the Big Screen) in the late '50s through the '70s. He died in '84 at 81.
Zooey Hall (or David Z. Hall) was prolific TV bit part actor in '70s (born in '46). "Zooey" apparently was uncle's nickname and he got stuck with it. David Z. was an alias.
Laurie Heinemann acted in TV briefly in the mid-'70s, actually winning an emmy on a soap opera in '78.
@dariusdynamite Totally! This is what's missing in today's TV shows.... character.... and not just in the show... i'm talking about right in the damned INTRO! hahaha!!! O_o But then again, these days, at the end of certain shows, like just after the closing scene and during the rolling of the credits, they preview the next episode, often vocally saying who'll be guest starring.
But still, nothing beats late 60's-70's narration style!
@dariusdynamite On that note, if they ever do a remake of the series, they should get that guy who does those Geico commercials to be the new narrator guy. "Can switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance? Did the little piggy cry wee-wee-wee all the way home?"
Is it my imagination or the theme songs of TV series of decades past were so iconic that even if you were not near the television set and the music started to play, you knew which show was on. My point is: even the television theme songs were too good in the past !
@eurodishco Quoted for absolute truth. I miss theme tunes on TV programmes. You could tell from just a few notes that your show was starting. And QM had some great themes and titles.
@eurodishco I think you're not imagining things. Television themes from the 1970s, the 1960s, etc. were indeed iconic. Quinn Martin shows added the iconic device of the narrator identifying the main and guest casts and the episode title and it amounted to a complete one-minute epic.
@STP43FAN1 Thanks for certifying that I was not imagining things!!! I find that there was such a level of creativity and good writing (and great acting), in those days, which I cannot find on television shows today. And of course, the music had to be up to par with the whole concept of the series. No improvised, half-baked shows, music and acting back then. True professionalism at all levels.
@eurodishco I agree. It seems writers put a lot more thought and passion into their work back then. It seems like all shows today are clones of one another with different characters.
@eurodishco u are so right ..and i thought i was the only one who thought that way ...those days were great...tv shows were actually entertaining..and they actually had these theme songs...now they dont...and if they do they dont compare to those any day ..what memories they bring back to us...i find myself just going through these on you tube..and im in another place...a much nicer calmer place..its cray...but im glad i got to experience it..and can still lok back on good memories.
@Kraziken0 I was a kid back then but I would still watch the show because it was not ultra violent. And the song (as all the television series' songs were in those days), so good and recognizable!
I loved these shows were they read out all the titles, like a lot of their viewers were iliterate, or something. I surprised there's no.. 'In Color', at the start, like everyone's colour-blind and need to be told..LOL
Special, special guest star..............Sexton Blake, can solve any crime after a cup tea and a slice of fruit cake and completing the Times crossword puzzle.
theyre spending a million or so dollars building a suicide net on the Golden Gate Bridge , like that's the only way to commit suicide. A typical SF move.
@mooneepondskid in the 70's and 80's people used to make us great tv series themes , but today ...they're not so good .maybe because they are made by computers and no more orchestras
@GoblinXXX Probably not, unless you're talking about reruns. Zeta Jones was born in September, 1969, so she was seven years old when the Streets of San Francisco aired its last episode in June, 1977.
@BeastMaiden2012 Juan Macready is a total shit starter who said he was glad Patrick Swayze died and that he hopes Russell Crowe dies of cancer as well. Just thought you should know so he can be reported to youtube for being a total asshole.
I wish people whould stop putting other cities and states down in the U.S.A. the way how i view it there is problem everywhere in the U.S. there is no perfect utopia not in this world!
@Lex5576 Laughing at loud that is Hilarious Mrs Nobody ..... Starring Nancy Peloosi" how about Tonight Episode the attack of Obama Health care plan LoL
I believe there were two spin off series after this: one staring Karl Maldens nose and another charting the sexual exploits of Michael Douglas which ran for 53,874 episodes between 1977 - 1978

@eurodishco I think you're not imagining things. Television themes from the 1970s, the 1960s, etc. were indeed iconic. Quinn Martin shows added the iconic device of the narrator identifying the main and guest casts and the episode title and it amounted to a complete one-minute epic.

@STP43FAN1 Thanks for certifying that I was not imagining things!!! I find that there was such a level of creativity and good writing (and great acting), in those days, which I cannot find on television shows today. And of course, the music had to be up to par with the whole concept of the series. No improvised, half-baked shows, music and acting back then. True professionalism at all levels.

@eurodishco I agree. It seems writers put a lot more thought and passion into their work back then. It seems like all shows today are clones of one another with different characters.

@eurodishco This series was on really before my time, as reruns. I can't remember a thing about the show, but I remember the song!!

@Kraziken0 I was a kid back then but I would still watch the show because it was not ultra violent. And the song (as all the television series' songs were in those days), so good and recognizable!

@eurodishco No imagination - the '70s were the best era for TV and film music.

I loved these shows were they read out all the titles, like a lot of their viewers were iliterate, or something. I surprised there's no.. 'In Color', at the start, like everyone's colour-blind and need to be told..LOL

@kimmy1984 You and Catherine Zeta Jones.

@GoblinXXX Probably not, unless you're talking about reruns. Zeta Jones was born in September, 1969, so she was seven years old when the Streets of San Francisco aired its last episode in June, 1977.
