(NBC Primetime, 1961 - 1962)
[a gritty police drama that foreshadowed such New York cop
series as "N.Y.P.D. Blue" by a few decades, this was based
upon a series of novels written from the 1950s to the early
1969s by Ed McBain (pseudonym of Evan Hunter);
Unfortunately the realization of the characters into TV scripts
was less original, as the show seemed to be more of a cliche
of its times so it only lasted one season]
[ASCAP title variation aka: "87th Precinct Theme";
Verified as the THEME in TV Guide article "Looking
For A Lost Chord?" April 28, 1962, pp. 12-13;]
