VISION ON SOUND

WARREN CUMMINGS on some 1970s USTV Cop Shows.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on August 18th 2024.

This week WARREN CUMMINGS is back, and we’re going to talk about all of those 1970s US TV Cop Shows that we used to love like KOJAK and IRONSIDE and THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, all of which were on our British television screens during a decade in which it seemed not a week could pass without a brand new cop show turning up on TV, each one with a brand new quirk or unique selling point to persuade us that it really was not the same as all of those OTHER cop shows that you might be enjoying, often with attributes so distinct that they made inroads into the pop culture of this country to the point that the likes of BENNY HILL or MIKE YARWOOD could don the old raincoat, or brandish a lollipop, and everyone watching at home would know exactly what they meant.
