Based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name, this series provided a hopeful, yet honest look at life in the new South. Set in the fictional Sparta, Mississippi, the show was a marvelous blend of heartfelt drama and folksy humor. It portrayed both the professional and personal pursuits of Sparta P.D's officers. Series star Carroll O'Connor, in a role far removed from Archie Bunker, served as executive producer. Using the pen name Matt Harris, Mr. O'Connor was also the story editor and wrote many of the episodes.less «

  I loved everything about this show,from the cast to the story plots to the writing.This show had it all,what more could you ask for.I wish this show never had ended. hide « show »

  I loved this show!I loved watching the cast and the charactors that they played. I like how they chosed to film the series on location instead of using some hollywood sound stage or back lot.If i had to choose a favorite charactor,it would have to be "Lonnie Jamison".I had such a huged crush on Hugh O'Connor,it's ashame that he's no longer with us.I loved watching every episode,including the 4 2-hour tv movies that they made. To me, this will always be the best cop show that was ever made,A Real Classic! R.I.P: Carroll & Hugh O'Connor, Howard Rollins,and Lois Nettleton.

  a group of great cops. hide « show »

  in the heat of the night is a great cop show. i loved this show because it deals with eveything from drugs rascim, harrisment and absive husbands and rape. its a small town with a white chief of police who in love with a affrian american woman there are still a few rascist people around who are from the south. there is a black dectieve name tibbs. with the local police department they help solve dayly disputes and now and then they solve a murder. i think this show was great and i hope one day soon they bring it back on cable or dvd so the fans can watch it again.

  One word...GREAT!! hide « show »

  I love this show! Every episode delt with every imaginable aspect of a typical southern town! Everything was covered as far as day to day life there, and different things that could have happoned on a daily basis. I had to visit Covington, Ga. to see "Sparta" in person! My visit was GREAT! I posted my pictures on my web-site at www.djmadlad.com and click on "Sparta, Miss"

  1.6 Abysmal

  OH NO!!! "HEAT" V!!! DON'T CALL IT "IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT"!!! INSTEAD, CALL IT, "IN THE HEAT OF BOREDOM"!!! hide « show »

  This old show has reached the end of the line-Big time! It's long off the air and it's chances of coming back on are extremely slim to none! Why even bother showing it anymore! It's just a boring cop show. That's all it amounts to, really. There's nothing more to say about it!

  The first few years were the best hide « show »

  ' In the Heat of the Night ' was a show that was really excited about when Caroll O'Connor was first approached about it. He was such a talented actor and this role was perfect for him.
  While the show airred on NBC it was fantastic and was one show I never missed but like most shows they started to make changes and introduce new characters and the show went down hill very quickly.
  After CBS picked it up, The show changed so much that it no longer held your interest. I was thankful though that CBS asked for a number of 2 hour movies during their final years which brought back some of the action that the show had been missing.
