  • the last serious bad ass cop show .

  • Best series ever!

  • to jest piosenka i to był film

  • Love that pose at the end, very cool

  • BRING BACK CRIME STORY! I know it's 25+ yrs later, but it CAN BE DONE! (and should be)

  • All I know is when that plane crashed and I realized no more episodes, I was like "Those A**holes! Leave us on a cliffhanger like that! If Luca and Pauli could survive a nuke, Torello and the guys could survive a plane crash". And sadly Stephen Lang is more remembered for the Na'vi murdering "Marine" than as Attorney Abrams, which he deserved and deserves praise for. Lest we also not forget Ving Rhames and Gary Sinise's appearnce.

  • Best TV series I've ever watched. It was such a time capsule of late '50's early '60's organized crime vs the task force created to squelch it. It was like a great movie that we got to watch 1hr a week.

  • search Amazon or barnes and noble for the dvd  set.

  • I didn't see that many episodes, and yet I think: "possibly the best crime show ever?"

  • I remember loving this show as a kid (I would have been 14 at the time) I wonder if it holds up?

  • This show was the bomb I loved it. You of course know what that means? Cancelled!! Suck the music was awesome the plot was original and everyone loved it. Who knows what studios think? Well not like me, stupid sitcoms always come before adult programming. Do you know who pays the cable bill it's not my kids. Maybe they'll put it on reruns.

  • good ole days

  • @masterpiece140 yea i know right?! i remember my mom watchin the show and singin the song... those REALLY were the dayz... )-:

  • FUN FACT....I was an extra during the amazing Easter department store shoot out scene (pilot) and mentioned to the head costume designer there was an nightclub sign they really should add to the opening. It was the Orbit Room. He wrote down the address and they soon added it in. True story. Where is that sign today??? Thanks for sharing. Michael

  • No way !! that episode is legendary , a atomic bomb under las Vegas, EPIC.

  • Comment removed

  • @micpar2 See, in the UK, they probably would do something like that, but that's not how American networks roll; God forbid they should ever break the mould/think outside the box/innovate, choose your expression. If the producers had gone to HBO or another cable outlet, things might have been different. (Cf. Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire)

  • Excellent series, I just wish if not a season 3. NBC would had done a mini-series or a TV Movie to tie the series up. This series always reminded me of the old Untouchables tv series but set in the 1960's.

  • Excellent series, I just wish if not a season 3. NBC would had done a mini-series or a TV Movie to tie the series up.

  • It's Del Shannon singing, and he changed the words for the TV show!

  • Jimmy!

  • wow i been bustn my brain tryn 2 remember,,this show and song i used 2 love this show

  • Pretty sure this is Nick Lowe not Del Shannon singing this song although it is a Del Shannon original.

  • i saw this show as a small boy of 9 or 10 years and the music i still remember :-)

  • This was a great show and I cannot understand why it was so short-lived.

  • @eurodishco The trouble with Crime Story was that it really was just about the vendetta between Torrello, the Chicago cop-turned-US Marshal, and Luca, the stick-up man-turned-Las Vegas crime boss. You could only draw the story out for so long before it got repetitive and/or silly, like Luca and Pauli getting nuked, as ANOTHER poster(and I don't have multi-monikers!) observed.

  • @therealjoebloggs I guess you are right but I cannot help the fact that I thought the show was so different and innovative in the sense of reviving the 50's -- an era in which I did not live but thought of as quite cool. The acting was good and it was a well produced show; but I guess it was costly as well.

  • @eurodishco the 60's

  • @KlayyJayy Was it the 60? I was so sure it was the 50s! Anyway, great show for certain!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah Crime Story is no doubt one of the best shows off all time.... So Underated

  • @KlayyJayy Yes, underrated is right. I have searched on Hulu but they do not have it. Too bad!

  • First season was good, but it went to hell after Luca and Pauli got nuked. :)

  • OH yeah !!! *****

  • Best american TV series ever, a true masterpiece, amazing.

  • MCU was badass!

  • The Untouchables Meets American Graffiti.

  • when you here this, it`s just a different feel..

  • what is the name of the song???

  • @archenemy105 Del Shannon- Runaway

  • I watched this show as a kid just because of Del Shannon's Runaway song at the opening. It always sucked me in.

  • Much better than any C.S.I...

  • The good old days in Chicago!

  • Anyone find it weird that the Jackie Chan action-drama movie shares the title with this show?

  • @nintendoboy17 i founded my friend her name is police story

  • @nintendoboy17 saludos desde mexico

    

  • hicior!!!

    

  • my most favorite TV show of all time.=, cancelled by overpaid a holes

  • @rayluca12 Hahahah....choice name for a fan of Crime Story. You had to kill David Caruso before he ever had the chance to do it for himself, Luca!

  • loved the old cars and the attitude

  • @MrCharlie1960 you're not shittin' there Mr. Charlie, about the old cars, that is. i would have one of those any day compared to the junk they have today !!!!

  • Extra.........................­.

  • This Trailer could be a prt of my life.

    All my life I had hard to struggle to get along...and the the situation will be not gettig better.

    But...of course I'm not a criminal.

  • One of my all time favorite shows.

  • I don't like ganster movies but I was totally hooked on this series. I hated when it went off the air! And Dennis Farina was unbelievably cool.

  • I remember this "movie series", I was 17 when I saw it the first time. Crime Story is the best ganster series ever!

  • serial i muzyka mojego dzieciństwa:D lubię to!xD

  • this was the best show...it was the precursor of The Sopranos....I wish they would do it again...on HBO!  can you dig it?

  • That was GREAT television! A 60's themed crime/detective story running in the 80's. Dennis Farina, as always, wonderful. He played the part so well because in real life he was a Chicago police detective before retiring into acting. No wonder the man is so great!! Now why can't they remake this into a movie?

  • I wish I could this exact version of "Runaway." All the ones I found on iTunes aren't as good.

  • @12AX74Life ...The full-length "Crime Story" version of "Runaway" is on two CD's...(1) "Crime Stoppers-TV's Greatest Cop-Crime Stoppers: TV's Greatest Cop Themes Soundtrack" on Rhino Records (2000 release) and (2) "Del Shannon 1961-1990: A Complete Career Anthology" (2 CD Australian import from Raven Records...1998 release)...on disc 2. Should be available at either Amazon or CDUniverse.

  • @Delfan1961 Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.

  • wonder how long it takes form Ray Luca to do his hair every morning. It's so cool

  • Thanks god I can see this show every saturday morning here in Venezuela. THE CARS, THE MUSIC, THE CHROME IN THE CARS... (Chavez sucks)

  • I don't know this series, I was too young to see it back then. My parents made me go to bed. But damn, just seeing this opening made me want to see it like hell! :p

  • Don't know what I liked the best...The WOMEN, the music, the CARS, the whole "1963" thing, or the fact that most of the guys who played in it were UGLY..Or at least looked like REAL people, not preening metrosexual weenies...Naturally, they had to cancel it after just 2 seasons...But Shyte like the 15K versions of "CSI" goes on FOREVER...

  • damn this was a good show

  • My god oh my GODD my show man this is my favorite show !!!!! i was what? 8???

  • EXCELENTE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Czy serial jest dostępny na dvd w Polsce?

  • This is the first season theme and beginning, while they were still in Chicago. The Las Vegas shows were after they were appointed to the organized crime task force.

  • best song ever

  • GREAT!!!

  • this tv show was won won won won wonderful!

  • I was sth like 12 when I watched the last episode,,, when the plane with Torrello on board crushed in to the sea I was literally shocked ! I was crying for at least an hour :) best tv show ever ! :)

  • REAL COPS DOIN- IT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE....BRING THAT SQUAD BACK AND AL-KIDA WOULD GIVE IT UP IN A HEART BEAT, NO NEED FOR WATERBOARDING, BUT WATERBOARD THEM JUST FOR SHYTES AND GIGGLES

  • epic

  • very Goooooooooooooooooooooooood.

  • this tv show reminds me on my childhood

  • Hyhy bylem zalozycielem fanklubu czolowki Crime Story.  A serial do dzis sie ladnie oglada :)

  • @frankdrebin666 respekt! a ja v to vremja esczo podrostkom byl :)

  • I have that same car that's at the end. 1959 Ford Fairlane. Beautiful car :)

  • Mike Torello is a tough cop. :)

  • true fact: this show is the inspiration for Adult Swim's Delocated, airing each sunday at 10 PM Eastern Time

  • Great Show. Its on DVD but a terrible transfer mostly. Todd Rundgren did not sing the theme song. Del Shannon remade the song for the show. Rundgren did the music for the first season but left because he thought the show was too bloody! One more bit -Stephen Lang is in this show. He is the military commander in Avatar so many young guest stars Julia Roberts,Kevin Spacey,Ving Rhames,David Caruso, Lorraine Bracco,Ray Sharkey, Andrew Dice Clay and Gary Sinse We need a better transfer DVD/Blu .

  • Finally,I found it!! I knew I wasn't crazy when I had memories of this show...I was 8 when this show was released and I watched a lot of episodes.Thank you aegermeister for uploading this!!

  • This was one of my all-time favorite TV show openings, back when there were such things!

  • niceeeeeeeeeeeeee wanna watch it again... and again,.,,,  :-)))

  • I'm making a crime fighting Youtube Series and I like to think it was inspired by this

  • That show ruled. Paulie and Ray were scary mother-fuckers. Great period piece about America's Golden Age, back when we ruled the world and we made things.

  • This show was BADASS!!! Remember the final episode!??!

  • guess where this is? Superdawg in chicago. One of the best Hot Dog and burger places I know.

  • I think this was the pilot, and had the best opening sequence IMO.

  • tambien la vemos en chile señal por cable

  • Any1 know where 2c all 44eps tell me a site ty :)

  • Yep, Miami Vice and Crime Story... Michael Mann hit on a great theme. Cruising around late at night with with well-dressed cops in a big bloody car, and making it look like the coolest thing in the world.

  • this movie shown in Russia at 1993.

  • The Crime Story theme was sung by Todd Rundgren. The lyrics are somewhat different from the original Del Shannon version. Best show ever.

  • #OMG Epic Show #FTW !

  • @nelsonricardocosta do ya no where 2c eps on the net ty :)

  • To był serial, to były czasy, a nie takie gówna jak teraz kręci sie w tym smutnym jak pizda miejscu

  • Best show Evar!!!!

  • I was so pissed when this series ended with a cliffhanger and they never gave it a real final episode.

  • @azzkeeker Do you no where 2c it on the net ty :)

  • @crg55555 No, sorry, but I saw there were reruns on TCM

  • Man I remember watching this show when I was 8 yrs old. It was one of my fav shows. I remember they used to show on the cable station USA, but this was back in the 80's. :o)

  • I love that song,,,,thinking about the current prius situation made me look this up,,,see my prius video on my channel if you wish,,,,tks

  • my dad showed this when I was younger. I love this show and wish there were more than 2 seasons. also the intro song is pretty awesome and this is coming from a 15 who listens to punk XD

  • i loved this shows opening theme when i wuz younger,. kool shit.

  • Was this "Mad Men" about 20 years too early?

  • @Charliecomet82--I was just thinking the same thing.

  • This series was so popular in former Yugoslavia along with Dempsey and Makepiece, Miami Vice, Magnum etc.

  • Even I remeber this series, and i was like 5 years old. This and Bolji život ;)

  • Bolji Zivot!!! Ha ha ha ha, I loved it man. My whole family would ghather and watch it. Dragisa Popadic Gile and his family. Wow, how times goes by. Thanks.

  • Magnum wasn't shown in Yug. Cover up was and some others like Automan,The Untouchables and some

  • Magnum was shown in Yugoslavia and that is the only time I have ever seen it. Now I live in New York and I haven't seen it since 1985 or so. Maybe it is shown on some channels in USA, but I haven't seen it since Yugoslavia.

  • NO it was not. Many others were but Magnum was not. Sledge Hammer was,as L.A.Law,Moonlighting ,Midnight caller,

  • Magnum was on Yugoslavian TV stations, although state own stations, but it was shown. Those stations were not broadcasters like some private TV Stations. They just bought rights to air Magnum for certain period of time ans that was it, no rights after that. You are just ignorant or you just simply don't know because you haven't seen it.

  • Yeah...I'm maybe ignorant...however I lived in Yug...and as a teenager kid spend almost all of my free time in front of tv and THERE WAS NO MAGNUM P.I.

  • You see, now I know that you just haven't seen, because in Yugoslavia it was called only "MAGNUM", not MAGNUM P.I.

    And I lived in Yugoslavia, in Zagreb, Split, Sarajevo, Mostar, Belgrade, Krusevac. My dad was in JNA, and we moved a lot of times, but my mom is not Yugoslavian and we moved out as soon crap started in Slovenia. I know of MAGNUM only because I watched in Yugoslavia in every republic.

  • @malizlato Magnum was on Yu TV stations! Period.

    I remember because I use to watch that, and so was Crime Story, Miami Vice, Moonlighting, L.A., Law, Dynasty, China Beach and all other american hits in that time.

    But Crime Story was my favorite!

  • @bijou201 No it was not.Period!Double period!!

    But what comes to mind is that nowadays tourists from all eastern europe comes to Croatia on holidays and they are talking about series they are watching or how they are watching f.e.:House M.D. season that is not yet shown in Croatia,and they are mocking it. And in this posts by all of you is shown that speaking of culture and society EX-YUG was far above and ahead of those idiots

  • @malizlato I see you like your own theory about Magnum, but let me tell you something: my father use to work on television in 80s and I can tell you 100% that Magnum was on TV. I don't know why are you trying to prove that it wasn't?!

  • @bijou201 I'm not trying to prove anything. You can search all pre-war stations and look for it and my friend you WILL NOT find it.

  • @malizlato

    If you're trying to convince me I'm wrong you're not gonna make it. I don't have to search for it because my father has so many copies on VHS (from tv stations) including this and Magnum. I know I've watched that many times.

  • @bijou201 Then why don't you make a clip of it with tv station logo on it. If you have it then it can't be that hard

  • @malizlato

    stop TROLLING

  • @malizlato As much i remember i didnt saw it neither, but Sledge Hammer was awesome, too shame they were just showing it in a night program Oko ponoci if I remember well.

  • It was shown in late programming called "noć i dan"

  • Song of my childhood memories , I would go back there again;)

  • This opening hooked me and I watched religiously even though I was only about10 years old. Two words. Awe some.

  • @Koexistence13 OMG yes loved this show. Bad Boys, Miama Vice!!! The 80's for tv nothin' like.

  • Remember "The Pose" at the end with the detectives?

  • You know, that was a cool show, but I don't think I appreciated it enough at the time. It portrayed the end of the noir era more or less...early '60's. Loved the smokey bars with "space age" neon signs out front.

  • Awesome!!! Great GREAT show

  • @badhorsiee do you know where 2c eps on the net ty :)

  • super piosenka

  • I Remember seeing this when i was a Kid...Ray luca, what a character....

  • My Dad and I watched this whole series together when I was a kid. Being in Australia i don't think it made it to TV so we'd rent out the videos. Good memories and great music.

  • @sevenworlds My Dad and I watched it together on the TV together in the '80s here in the US and loved every episode. The clothes, music, cars, hairstyles and even the weapons were period correct. You gotta love the guy at the end on the right with the M2 .30 carbine and in the Las Vegas opening theme he unleases it in anger on the strip. Classic!

  • @buttermobile do you no where 2c the whole 44eps on the net ty4 ya help :)

  • SUPER KLIMATY

  • @mocnamuza

    polski komentarz w czołówce tak jest kurwa!!!!!!

  • That music is great... This bring to me some many memories...!

  • I loved this show it brought Del back sad.

  • thank you for this movie one thousnd thanks

  • I like the show with the robbery gone bad at Dept. Store Downtown Chicago,IL..

  • @maureencora1--Oh, man--the one about the serial killer who thought TV was directing him to kill was wonderful, too... Especially the ending atop a station antenna...

  • Muy buena fotografía, muy buena canción...

  • Es curioso que ese estilo de fotografia haya quedado en los 80s, esos atardeceres nostalgicos, muy propios de la epoca, se me enchina la piel de verlo

  • Ray Luca rules!

  • @AloisHochwald do you no a site 2see the whole 44 eps of the tv show ty matey :)

  • Can anyone find free episodes on the net, any links, especially the later vegas ones.

  • finally found it... jive bombers - bad boy

  • Exactly! Great score!

  • anyone know name of song on season one finale during atom bobm explosion.

  • A classic that is played about as much as any song recorded. Take a look on the map and find Coopersville , Mi. Could such a giant hit come from here? Well it could and it did. Back when music could find it's way to Americans. Corporations have destroyed our talent pools.

  • wha, wha, wha, wha, why?

  • I Wonder :D

  • No, but seriously, why do you think that?

  • Can anyone tell me the song title!!!!!

  • runaway, by del shannon

  • Thanks a millon!!!

  • this was definitely from an era where shows didn't involve a bunch of nobodies singing, stupid dance acts or a panel of judges that are afraid of finding a real job

  • I remember watching this show in Guadalajara Mexico when I was a kid. Great Show.,

  • I why why why why wonder why why why why why why I don't walk away.

  • great intro to a great show!!!

  • My Favorite time in tv watching...Miami Vice at 8...Crime Story at 9 and Private Eye at 10...It didnt get any better than that!!

  • @doctor1962 do ya no where i can watch it on the net ty :)

  • Great show, ahead of it's time

  • I remember watching this on nbc great show.

  • A MUST for everyone who likes good entertainment. Great TV show, one of the best
