“Forget it Jake, This is Chinatown.”

it really makes me sad when i watch old adam-12 episodes and consider that THIS is what jack webb wanted the cops to be: blue collar, scrupulously honest, fair to people. Reed and Malloy get into a fight in one episode with a retired wrestler, get slung around the room, and it doesn’t occur to either of them to pull out their guns and end the guy.
