Cops And Robbers
I got to thinking about my favorite TV cops. I picked these because, for one reason or another, I just like them. Sadly, only one is a patrol officer. Detectives get all the glory anyway. Here they are in no particular order:
Dennis Franz - Det. Sal Benedetto and, later, Lt. Norman Buntz on Hill Street Blues. Also Det. Andy Sipowicz on NYPD Blue.
Abe Vigoda - Det. Sgt. Phil Fish on Barney Miller.
Jack Webb - Sgt. Joe Friday on Dragnet.
Jerry Orbach - Det. Lennie Briscoe on Law and Order.
Kathryn Erbe - Det. Alexandra Eames on Law and Order: Criminal Intent.
Michael Conrad - Sgt. Phil Esterhaus on Hill Street Blues.
Don Knotts - Dep. Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show.

Always wondered, never asked, is there anything about TV cop shows that bear any resemblance to the life of a real officer at all?
Great choices!
Roger!
My dad would get mistaken for Dennis Franz all the time when NYPD Blue was on. He would sign autographs in bars and had a whole backstory about location scouting. Luckily, nobody asked to see his butt for proof (while I was present).
Thanks for the great memories. They don't make 'em like that any more.
