8 of 12 , another fail , shoukd have done better missed obvious questions
12 out of 12! I broke my ankle in 2013 and watched every single episode of Adam-12 repeatedly while I was recovering. I watched them UNCUT on Antenna TV. Shame on MeTV for hacking these great shows to pieces. SHAME!!!!!
Now that is what I'm talking about - 12/12! Kent McCord's age was the one I had to think about for a moment. But got it.
I live this show so much! It’s inspired me to become a cop! I’m 15, I got 10/12!!!
Pay attention to Adam-12 and Dragnet and you'll make a great cop!
12/12. I’ve got experience. I’m no fresh-faced recruit. You can say that again. I was already married when “Adam-12” debuted. (Sigh)
10/12..... Not bad.
They also did rear projection for some shots. Also, Malloy had several girlfriends over the run of the show, not just Judy at the end of the show.
Debatable- Malloy has a few dates but not really considered girlfriends.
I wonder if he would have actually gotten engaged to her if the show ran for one more season.
10 out of 12.
12/12 of course have loved Adam-12 from the original run... Showing my age...😂
Yay 12 out of 12 but that just shows my age😬☺️
