Experience the gritty, realistic world of law enforcement with Adam-12, the groundbreaking police drama from the creators of Dragnet. Set in Los Angeles, this classic series follows LAPD officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and his rookie partner Jim Reed (Kent McCord) as they patrol the streets in their black-and-white police cruiser, designated "Adam-12."

Running from 1968 to 1975, the show offers a front-row seat to the challenges, dangers, and camaraderie of police work in a rapidly changing society. From high-speed chases to tense confrontations and heartfelt moments, Malloy and Reed handle everything from minor infractions to major crimes, demonstrating dedication, bravery, and compassion on every call.

The series also featured William Boyett as Sgt. MacDonald, Gary Crosby as Officer Ed Wells, William Stevens as Officer Jerry Walters, Jack Hogan as Sgt. Jerry Miller, Mikki Jamison as Jean Reed, Claude Johnson as Officer Norm Green, William Elliott as Officer Grant and Fred Stromsoe as Officer Woods. 

Created by Jack Webb, Adam-12 set a new standard for authenticity in police dramas by showing the daily realities of the job with an emphasis on procedure and protocol. The series was also known for featuring real LAPD equipment, vehicles, and radio communications, adding a layer of realism that captured the spirit of the times.

Many of the ideas for storylines in the series came from serving LAPD police officers who passed their ideas to Sgt Dan Cooke, head of the public information division of the LAPD.

Real police radio operator Shaaron Claridge showed up at Universal Studios once a week before working her 4-to-midnight shift in the Van Nuys police station and was paid $112 a week to record all the radio calls in each script and make sure all her scripting was true-to-life (changing a line from “grand auto theft report” to “stolen-vehicle report,” for example).

Throughout its seven seasons, the show welcomed notable guest stars, including: Cloris Leachman, Lindsay Wagner, David Cassidy, Barry Williams, Dick Sargent, Butch Patrick, Mark Goddard, Tony Dow, Tina Cole,  Foster Brooks, Morey Amsterdam, Randolph Mantooth, Ozzie Nelson, Robert Conrad, Stubby Kaye, Angela Cartwright, Barbara Hale, Kathy Garver, June Lockhart, Mark Harmon, Sharon Gless, Rose Marie, Johnnie Whitaker, Tina Sinatra and Frank Sinatra, Jr. and many more.

With its blend of action, drama, and authenticity, Adam-12 remains a beloved classic that set the bar for police dramas to come. This complete DVD collection includes every episode of the series, allowing you to ride along with Officers Malloy and Reed as they uphold the law and keep the streets of Los Angeles safe.
