wow, 97. I hope it was a full life.
some of the scripts were meh, sometimes the acting was meh, but the show was great. So many location shots made this a fun watch and the relationship b/w the fatherly Lt. Mike Stone and the young hip Inspector Steve Keller was interesting at times, although it was a cop show at heart. And let's not forget, it was "A Quinn/Martin Production"
I just referenced the show a couple weeks ago when I was in Fort Funston. One ep in season One had the climax in the abandoned battery out in Ft. Funston. Mike chased the bad guy out down the Great Highway and they pulled into Ft. Funston, he chased the dude on foot down one of the battery's corridors. You can still drive up the place where they parked, tho it's illegal I'm sure. the battery structure is still there, of course, although the corridor has a big rusty steel door preventing any shenanigans.
"dudes!" I said to my dudes. "This is where Karl Malden parked, this is the door they ran into, and this is where he talked the crazy bad guy back from the brink!"
RIP
