Episode Detail: Cops on Camera - Inside TV Land
The depiction of the police on TV is chronicled from the idealized cops of '50s series like “Dragnet” and “The Naked City” to the flawed modern-day officers of “NYPD Blue” and “The Shield.” Other shows looked at include “Barney Miller,” “The Mod Squad” and “Police Woman,” as well as “Hill Street Blues,” “Miami Vice” and “Law & Order.” In addition, there are comments from “America's Most Wanted” host John Walsh, along with remarks by Dennis Franz, Michael Chiklis and Sharon Gless.
