Theme Song

There's a hold-up in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem,
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.
There's a scout troop short a child,
Khrushchev's due at Idlewild...

  10 Perfect

  Who knew that cops could be so funny? This 60's TV show is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. The predicaments that they get themselves into, will make keep you laughing. hide « show »

  If you like I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show or Gilligan's Island, you will love this show. Every episode is funny. You never know what will happen next. If this TV Series was released on DVD, it would be a big seller.
  I wasn't even born when this show was on TV. I first saw it on cable in the 1980's. I have purchased all of the videos of this show. It always makes me laugh no matter how bad I'm feeling. I wish that today's shows were funny like this show instead of the garbage that is now shown. This is a show that you can watch with your children.
