NCIS is the only one that comes to mind that is currently in production
(where "currently" is modified for COVID-19 restrictions).

Unless you count re-runs of Dragnet and Adam-12 on MeTV (which I think
is available OTA).

Not over the air but Live PD was a good show. It's been cancelled
due to the hysteria over George Floyd dying because of apparent police
misbehavior.
It showed cops with car and body cams as they went about their
business. The patience those guys usually show is something to behold.
I wondered how much the cameras changed things though.

I think over the air does not include cable. I only follow Blue Bloods
and Survivor from the broadcast networks otherwise the rest are all cable.

OTA, I watch Dateline, news, Americas's Got Talent.
Most of what I watch is cable. ID, History, Science, Smithsonian, Nat
Geo have some great shows.

Used to watch Live PD but they sissied out and dropped it.

About the only thing I watch live is the news. Others are DVE and skip
the commercials.

At least they still have Court Cam on Thursday nights.

I just read yesterday that A & E lost 40% of their viewership with Live
PD gone. Wish they would bring it back.

I can still handle the occasional Adam-12, but for me Dragnet hasn't held
up well at all. Friday was way too stuffy and straight, while Gannon seemed
to just go along with everything without having his own opinions. I watched
it as a kid, but I can't watch it now.

in the name of law enforcement.

I am OTA and streaming only. OTA is tolerable if you have a recorder
and you can skip commercials. There are quite a few PBS shows I like,
Frontline, American Experience, Nova sort of thing. Austin CL is OK
depending on who is on.
The sub channels of the networks also have reruns of lots of old shows
that seem better than the crap on the air now. (Grit, Bounce, GetTV
etc) These also show up on cable but I am glad I am not paying for
them. Again the ability to skip commercials is the only thing that
makes it tolerable. Usually those commercial breaks are 4-5 minutes.
George and Gracie are still funny, as is Barney Miller. The original
Law and Order is a pretty good crime show if you like that sort of
thing. I am dabbling into The Untouchables but a little of that goes a
long way. It becomes pretty repetitive.

Yes, it hasn't aged well. We don't watch every episode: the ones with
"hippies" are particularly painful. But it gives me a pleasant sense
of nostalgia, especially the notion that right always prevails.

It was better than cops. Live PD is a little misnomer as there was a
delay of a good half hour but gave a good idea of what does go on in
life on a regular basis. How many people don't bother with little
things like getting a license to drive.

It also shows how stupid people can be. When stopped for a minor
traffic offense they take off and run, sometimes crashing. Or escalate
a simple stop with their arrogance.

Real life ain't pretty.

had the exact same story as radio versions, even much of the dialog is

Sort of like a much more recent show, one of the cast-pairs of Law &
Order, the actor with the Italian name (Vincent deNoffrio or something)
and his partner who never had an original idea. It was sort of amazing
considering lots of shows were being made for years by then where the
female had the lead, even earlier Law & Order.

I watched
it as a kid, but I can't watch it now.

Despite that I still like Dragnet radio shows on Sunday night, and afaik
would watch the tv shows too.

I've never seen that show, but there were a lot of TV shows where the
police did all sorts of things that are illegal now. I think there
were times on COPS when the cops did things that were illegal at the
time.

It showed cops with car and body cams as they went about their
business. The patience those guys usually show is something to behold.

have time to watch all the tv shows I've got. I pretty much just watch

Yeah, it's been years but that's what I remember, occasional examples of
the police doing various things they're not allowed to, in video viewed
by the TV editors before it was shown.

Definitely. I've found even if I'm watching live, it's better to start
recording and watch a prior recording for at least 15 or 30 minutes
before going back to the "live" show.

I can relate to that. I think I fell asleep watching the Saturday night
horror movies, And there was no way to record them.

When I was little, I watched tv on my belly with my head resting on my
hands, my elbows on the floor. But my arms got too long. I really
missed that position for a long time.

What are you favorite over the air shows?

NCIS is the only one that comes to mind that is currently in production
(where "currently" is modified for COVID-19 restrictions).

Unless you count re-runs of Dragnet and Adam-12 on MeTV (which I think
is available OTA).

I watch Gunsmoke on Me. I also listen to Gunsmoke radio shows from
the 50's on Sunday night and 3 of the TV shows in the last 2 months have
had the exact same story as radio versions, even much of the dialog is
word-for-word the same.

MeTV is available OTA here

Here too.

I really like Gunsmoke and Rifleman.

I think Gunsmoke still holds the record for longest running show.

Simpsons beats it now with 654 episodes. Gunsmoke 635 over 20 years.

The 5 Longest-Running TV Shows of All Time
The Simpsons | Fox.

I like the Rifleman, but what gets me is that no matter how old his kid
gets or as many times as he sees his father in trouble, he still doesn't
know what to do. He's a wimp. One time he threw his father the gun
instead of shooting the guy himself Wasted time, and what if he
didn't catch it.

The Simpsons hold the record.
Then Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Then Gunsmoke tied with Law and Order

I can still handle the occasional Adam-12, but for me Dragnet hasn't held
up well at all. Friday was way too stuffy and straight, while Gannon seemed
to just go along with everything without having his own opinions. I watched
it as a kid, but I can't watch it now.

Yes, it hasn't aged well. We don't watch every episode: the ones with
"hippies" are particularly painful. But it gives me a pleasant sense
of nostalgia, especially the notion that right always prevails.

Cindy Hamilton

I thought Dragnet was pretty corny the first time around.

Yes, it was not authentic like Broderick Crawford in Highway Patrol.

10-4 ;-)

All of those shows have run at one time or another in the last year or
so, including Sea Hunt. I still have a few Highway Patrol episodes on
my TiVo

Who misses BBSes.

Â*Â*Â*Â* Not over the air but Live PD was a good show.Â* It's been
cancelled due to the hysteria over George Floyd dying because of
apparent police misbehavior.
Â*Â*Â* It showed cops with car and body cams as they went about their
business.Â*Â* The patience those guys usually show is something to behold.
Â*Â* I wondered how much the cameras changed things though.

At least they still have Court Cam on Thursday nights.

I just read yesterday that A & E lost 40% of their viewership with Live
PD gone.Â* Wish they would bring it back.

There's some here about it if you're interested:

Big hit on the advertising revenue. That could sink them.

The show could have been used to help the community and police. Let
people see both the good and bad of both the police and the idiots they
deal with every day. Maybe add in some commentary about what is going on.

When I was little, I watched tv on my belly with my head resting on my
