User Reviews

I totally agree

This is one of those American TV shows that I just loved. I can only remember parts of the show but I know that it was good. Great music as well. I remember that Baretta had a parrot or the like. I also liked Robert in Electra Glide in Blue.

This is one show that MUST come back to TV or at the very least DVD. It had and has real character and that funky kind of 70's feel to it.

It is really sad to find out that Robert has sunk so low and has found himself on hard times and eve in gaol as I understand. I guess its something of a paradox given that he played a lot of policemen in the past. I have an Electra Glide in Blue LP cover framed at home. I remember that Frank Furillo had one in his office in the show Hill Street Blues.
