  • Bradford Dillman - married to the breathtakinly beautiful Suzy Parker.

  • Tonight's episode...."Murder at the Boar's Nest." 

  • @LT1HILLINGHOE nice.

  • @LT1HILLINGHOE  LOL

  • Cannon has a very similar intro.

  • Tonight's episode: "Murder at the Regal Beagle..."

  • @harrison58 That was hilarious!!! I can't stop repeating it with that gritty voice in my head and each time I burst out laughing... every time!!

  • @OreckBoy1 That's because you possess a sense of humor, my friend. Plenty of gems out there still waiting to be joked-up...

  • Remember it very very well..........another brilliant theme tune from a great police series.

  • RIP Karl Malden and John Ritter. Two great actors from the good ole 70's :)

  • Actually at it's time was one of the popular cop shows of early 70s

  • Sorrelle Booke aka J.D. "Boss" Hawgg

  • karl maldens nose was big cuz he broke it twice playing basketball when he was young.

  • i hope michael douglas gets better

  • Boy, different world back then. What do you guys think?

  • Boss Hogg!

  • Yes, this was one of the best series of the 1970s.Another quality gem was Police Story which is all but forgotten.

  • Just love the Wah-wah pedal in the theme music. Gosh, I miss those days!

  • Eduard Franz was in the original "The Thing". Good character actor!

  • @dimpledick3inch he was queer as a foot ball bay

  • @dimpledick3inch John ritter didn't have to play being gay, he did have to play being straight, though.

  • One of the best cop shows of the 70's. Quality plots and overall great acting. I really hope the remaining seasons are released.

  • The German intro is better, because it's just the pure music, no talking.

    watch?v=_EaSV4Mgjwo

  • love ;those old 70's theme songs. Especally the wakka wakka guitar.

  • young john ritter rip

  • RIP Karl, Sorrell and John

  • Yea, this is great.

    It is a pity Michael Douglas never did anything after this. But then, TV can do that to a career.

  • BOSS HOGG!!!!!

  • Boy this brings back memories! I had no idea that John Ritter was this old? The son of cowboy movie star, Tex Ritter

  • SF is an awesome city!

  • I think this was Michael's last season on the show- He would leave- only to be replaced by Richard Hatch.

  • The show was never the same after michael douglas left.

  • John Ritter, RIP!

  • Boss Hogg!!

  • POLICE SQUAD!

  • R.I.P KARL MALDEN..

  • love sanfrancisco, went there in septmbr 2006,always wanted to go n its FANTASTIC,cant wait to go back, fae wee glasgow tony..

  • This isn't right. John Ritter died, how could he be in this?

  • Well, John Ritter did die, but that was in 2003.

    This episode was filmed in 1975.

    That's how he could be in this.

  • No way! LIES! LIES!

  • no it's not a lie. as a matter of fact, John is coming back from the dead to kill your ass for asking that dumb ass question.

  • Nothing but LIES. How can you tell such LIES.

  • john died in 2003

  • MORE LIES.

  • i remember that. i was on my way here to the bay area, pumping gas in Reno NV when I heard it on the radio.

  • Love the funky theme, ah those days when the boys playing these would just jam it down.............. Yeahhhhhh

  • RIP malden hope that nose gets smaller and less bulbuss in heaven...

  • @po58dvn lol you wrong

  • RIP Karl Malden. Thanks for the memories

  • RIP Karl Malden

  • Karl Malden aways looked the same....ageless

  • Yes...His real name was Sorrell Booke :)

  • silebrian,

    I was wondering that too.

    R.I.P. Karl Malden.

  • All this celebrity are passing away, There is Ed from Here Johnny! and Harve Presnell Facett, Michael Jackson. RIP

  • RIP Karl Malden!

  • It's amazing that Karl Malden is damn near 100 years old.

  • Quinn Martin shows taught you how to pronounce actor's names, like Clu Gulager, Goo-lager, etc.

  • What was the point of the guy reading out the cast names oh yes for the blind :p

  • Sorrell Booke, of course, would in several years become an iconic figure as Boss Hogg on "The Dukes of Hazzard."

  • Are the fire trucks in SFO that small that only three fireman ride?

  • Whoa!!! BOSS HOGG WITH A MUSTACHE!!!

  • a local oakland and sanfrancisco rap artists did a hiphop remake of the theme called city limits. . . i didnt even know they sampled it from this show

  • I think the quinn martin group was on to something. The did Cannon and Barnaby Jones in the same fashion. Cool theme song and a announcer reading the names and title if "tonights episode". Today there is hardly a opening theme. Well, maybe Law and order....

  • They used the same announcer for "Police Squad," whose opening titles were a direct parody of ones like these. Of course, the on-screen episode name never matched the spoken one. And the guest star was always killed off during the credit sequence.

  • They also parodied the "Tonight's Episode" line in the short lived "Son of the Beach" intro.

  • These reruns are now playing on KOFY-TV 20 here in the San Francisco Bay Area, at 11 a.m. Monday thru Friday.

  • Having grown up with it in the 80's, I'm so happy to see good ol' KOFY back. Streets of San Francisco, and the dogs looking at the TV! The WB20 was an abomination, good riddance! Long live KOFY!

  • That scene here in the intro showing SF's "City Ran" Ambulances saddens me deeply. I can't believe a 130 plus year old service that's earned the sincere trust and respect of the city's residents could be forcibly destroyed by a low class profit before anything else company like American Medical Responce Ambulance. They've used strong arm tactics. A hundred year old anti-monopoly law, designed to fight oil companies has been used against SF Ambulance. AMR themselves are a monopoly, such hypocracy

  • Just heard an AMR horror story on Len Tillem's lawyer show on KGO radio the other day. The ambulance drivers laughed at and mocked this lady who had a seizure, delayed taking her to the hospital, saying she was "just faking it". :/

  • I love the 70s fashion

  • this was the coolest show back in the day,course i didnt know back then what san francisco was like

  • Jack Tripper, Boss Hogg and the MARJ DUSAY in one episode, together? The fates aligned in strange convergence for this one, folks. SAVOR IT. It will never happen again.

  • To a young'n like me, it seems weird that they have an announcer for the opening.

  • Their didn't make tv show like their us too!!!

  • "Murder By Proxy" originally aired on October 23, 1975.

  • I meant to say Boss Hogg, Jack Tripper, and Alexandra Spaulding all in the same episode

  • Boss Hogg, John Ritter and Alexandra Spaulding in the same episode, wow!

  • good times

  • Boss Hogg was on this show?

  • The actor who played Boss Hogg, Sorrell Booke was in the episode. He also played Mr. Sanders, Archie Bunker's boss on "All In The Family", and Saul Lefkowitz, Elaine's father on "Soap."

  • Excellent series!

    Anyone remember another QM production - Dan August (Burt Reynolds) which ran from 1970 to 1971?

  • John Ritter is my favorite, alongside with Michael Douglas! However, he is best known as Jack Tripper in Three's Company I am going to subscribe to this and all videos by this user.

  • This episode also has Sorrell Book(Boss Hogg), and San Francisco native Bradford Dillman.

  • Karl's nose had it's own zip code...

  • dont you mean zit code

  • I saw this epsisode yesterday, it was quite good.

    This series is much better than many of todays, CSI isn't bad, but I like this one more.

  • Oikeesti paras ohjelma mitä on :D Harmi vaa ku tulee nii myöhää :(

  • Niin on.

  • I still miss John RItter so much. He is a treasure to behold in this memorable episode of my favorite crime tv program.

  • They did a movie a few years ago with Karl Malden investigating Michael Doughlas'character murder,cheery,not,cue lots of flashbacks.

  • LONG LIVE QM PRODUCTIONS!!!

  • Long live the famous QM boilerplate in which the announcer gives the roll call of regulars and guest stars.

  • Boss Hogg and Tripper!

  • im not into this version, there was a much jazzier version in season one i think. this one has the stars announced before the music action starts

  • Whenever you saw the scenes of the different actors starring in "today's episode", you knew there was a good story coming. Today you just tune out and look away because you know you're about to see some average sad crap. Corporatism, folks: tune it out of television forever and bring back INDEPENDENT STUDIOS like Quinn Martin Productions!

  • what year is this

  • 1975 - you can't read Roman numerals???

  • lol

  • Probably not, kids today do not even have to pass math or English to get their High School "Diploma"s.

    A sadly ignorant world and it is a shame.

  • I did both, sort of, and I was in Special Ed when I was in high school.

  • heh heh

  • Thank you for posting this one! I loved "The Streets" and watched it all the time! Why can't TV Land put it on?!!!

  • its on DVD now

    se 1

  • Just a touch more funky wocka-chucka in this season's theme than previous seasons.

  • I loved this show, I wish it was back on the air. Watching the opening theme brought back memories of watching it on KVOS TV 12.

    I woule also like to see the closing theme. Anyone have it so they could add it here?

  • I remember seeing this show on KOMO too. They reran it late at night during the 90s.

  • Loved this show as a teen, and when I was 20, my college room mate and I used to stay up late to watch the old re-runs on TV.

  • Bradford Dillman also appeared in the 1983 film "Sudden Impact" in the film he played Captain Riggs. In "The Enforcer" he was Captain McKay". and he was also born in San Francisco, California on April 15, 1930.

  • He was born a month before Clint Eastwood and he too was born in San Francisco.

  • That intro is pure Funk. Not cheesy. Most 70s detective shows used Funk intros: Wonder Woman, Starsky & Hutch, Baretta, etc. Funk was the word. The intros to show now just plain suck and so do the shows, like that CSI crap. This was quality drama!!!

  • Amen . . . !

  • There's absolutely nothing wrong with that guitar in this theme. If anything's "cheesy", it's today's junk.  The '70's was too cool.

  • The wah-wah guitar is cheesy, but also great. This is some of the kind of shit I miss about the 70s.

  • That wah-wah guitar music is very cheesy.

  • I think it sounds almost like the music on Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse.

  • make that Jack Tripper, Boss Hogg and nu Alexandra Spaulding (Guiding Light) all in the same episode LOL

  • my favorite tv star stars in here! ITs JOHN RITTER! What a lovely surprise! I want to get ALL of my favorite episode on DVD! Where can I find them?

  • Sorrell Booke who played boss hogg and John Ritter from threes company. Bradford Dillman is also a San Francisco native. This episode was made in his hometown.

  • This show and Miami Vice's opening credits seemed to be inspired by the opening credits of "Hawaii Five-O," because of the way they paid homage to their respective places in their title names.

  • Jack Tripper and Boss Hogg in the same episode...

  • Oh My god.  He is so hot. What a georgeous human being. I love so darn much.
