 The Streets of San Francisco
comment
A crime drama series that ran on ABC from 1972–77, produced by Quinn Martin Productions (with Warner Bros. Television in Season One) and shot on location in San Francisco.The series starred Karl Malden as Det. Lt. Mike Stone, a veteran homicide cop, with Michael Douglas (in his Star-Making Role) as Det. Insp. Steve Keller, Stone's younger partner. Douglas left the show at the start of its fifth and final season, and was replaced by Richard Hatch as Det. Insp. Dan Robbins; this change was not popular with viewers (since Battlestar Galactica hadn't been created yet), leading to declining ratings and the show's cancellation.Unique among crime shows since, the show's actors and writers took great pains to ensure an authentic portrayal of the San Francisco Police Department.A reunion telefilm, Back to the Streets of San Francisco, produced by Spelling Television, the successor-in-interest to QM Productions, aired on NBC in early 1992.

Serial Killings, Specific Target
 The Streets of San Francisco / int_13dc1beb
comment
Serial Killings, Specific Target: In "Legion of the Lost", Roy Richardson is a greedy businessman who seeks to ensure that the rightful heir of his boatyard corporation, Paul Thomas, never claims his inheritance. Knowing that Paul is currently homeless and living among vagrants, Richardson has his hatchet man, Terry, go about beating homeless men to death over the course of several nights, leaving three bodies in his wake. Richardson then tries to have Paul himself beaten to death, hoping for it to look like just another serial killing, and Paul's best friend Jake is killed in the process.

Crime After Crime: Too many examples to count but to supply one: in the episode "The Twenty-Five Caliber Plague", the titular "plague" is a tiny pistol that goes from one person to another after its original owner disposes of it in a trash can after blasting dead a bookie's goon that was beating him up, and they use it to shoot someone.

Death of a Child

comment
Death of a Child: One of the victims of the Saturday Night Special at the center of "The Twenty-Five Caliber Plague" is a little boy who's shot by of his friends who finds the gun and then pulls out the clip and thinks its empty. It isn't... In "The House on Hyde Street", one of the three boys who break into Harlan Edgerton's (Lew Ayres) house falls from a ladder and fatally breaks his neck. The boys lie to the cops, saying that Harlan caught and killed the boy. Harlan, who's not all there, tells Stone and Keller, that his brother, who was killed in World War II, is the killer.

Poorly Disguised Pilot: "Superstar," about a New York cop who comes to San Francisco to find his partner's killer and sticks around - in other words, McCloud in reversenote in more ways than one. People actually liked McCloud - led into the short-lived Spinoff Bert D'Angelo/Superstarnote just 11 episodes made. (which actually began its network run two weeks before the episode aired).

Time Marches On
 The Streets of San Francisco / int_397569de
comment
Time Marches On: "I Ain't Marchin' Anymore" concerns a Vietnam draft dodger back in San Francisco after running to Canada. In between filming of the episode and its first airing, then-President Gerald Ford stated that amnesty would be given to such dodgers. As a result, the episode has a rare second voiceover from Hank Simms specifying that the episode takes place before amnesty was declared. In-universe, Roy Devitt - a lieutenant in the first season - makes captain by the final season.

Make It Look Like an Accident: In "River of Fear", con artist James Cooper, posing as Dr. William Dunson, marries the cellmate of his widow (who died in prison under suspicious circumstances) in order to find out where he hid the fortune in cash he stole. He strikes her in the back of the head with a telephone receiver, then puts her in the bathtub to make it look like slipped, hit her head and drowned.

I Never Said It Was Poison: "Let's Pretend We're Strangers." Billy, who's suspected of murdering a young woman, has been gotten off by his legal aid lawyer - but then he tells her that he didn't kill anybody, and mentions the woman and another person (who he also killed because he spotted him leaving the scene of the crime) by name... even though he shouldn't have known about the latter.

Death by Falling Over
 The Streets of San Francisco / int_6af8ebb5
comment
Death by Falling Over: In "Deadline", reporter Chris Bane (played by Barry Sullivan) knocks down his girlfriend during an argument on the beach, killing her. In "Most Feared In The Jungle", single young mother Barbara Talmadge (Kitty Winn) struggles with the matron at the unwed mothers' home where she lived before her baby was stillborn, she's convinced her baby's alive and was taken from her (she's right). Matron winds up on the ground. And that's all she wrote. In "The Runaways", George Morgan (Larry Wilcox) breaks into a pharmacy to get medication for his sick younger sister. He's surprised by the pharmacy owner, who thinks he's a junkie and scuffles with him, causing the owner to fall and fatally strike his head on a weight scale.

Driven to Suicide: Jean (Stone's daughter)'s friend Nancy in "Men Will Die" - she's raped by two men at the start of the episode, and the traumatized woman subsequently shoots and kills one of them - but because there isn't any conclusive evidence of her rape, she's eventually held for trial for murder... driving her to jump off a stairwell in the courthouse. Thankfully, she does recover. (And yes, the other guy does get caught.) Boggs in "Hang Tough." Unlike Jean's friend, he succeeds.

Opening Narration: In keeping with series from QM Productions, each one was episode-specific (although "I Ain't Marchin' Anymore" also has one at the beginning of the first act to set up the episode). Here's one for instance from season five (which runs so long the theme music actually goes back to the beginning and starts again):

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 The Streets of San Francisco / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In "Dead Or Alive," the wealthy father of a young woman who's beaten, raped, and murdered offers a reward of a million dollars for the killer's capture. The greed the reward generates results in three people being hospitalized, including the killer (who's shot by a shopkeeper with dollar signs in his eyes while trying to escape from Stone), and the episode ends without their fates known. It also results in a cop on the verge of retirement getting a friend of his involved in a scheme to catch the guy and split the reward, which winds up with the cop being kicked off the force and his friend being shot and killed. And the father may or may not be facing charges of complicity and involvement with murder himself, since it was basically his fault. In "Poisoned Snow," a cop's girlfriend is shot and killed by a junkie while she's trying to arrest him, which drives the man to lace a dealer's cocaine with rat poison in hopes that the junkie who killed her will take a fatal dose. He does... as do many other junkies throughout San Francisco. Including his own son.

Disposable Woman: In "The Drop," the girlfriend of a kidnap victim is gunned down by one of the kidnappers (and later passes away in hospital), as the guy is taken, purely so that Mike Stone can be involved with the case (and the killer specifically wants Stone to make the drop so he can take revenge). The hostage never mentions her again. Dude, your girlfriend was shot and mortally wounded in front of you!

comment
Just Got Out of Jail: In "Timelock", Bobby Jepsen has been released from prison, where he'd been serving time for manslaughter, with the proviso that he find a job within 72 hours. Shako, who'd been in prison with him, sees him on the street and presses him for information about a contract that was made on his life. Bobby, who doesn't want to be seen with him, as it would violate his parole, argues with him as they're standing on a street corner waiting for the light to change. Someone comes up behind Shako and shoves him into the path of a moving truck, killing him, and then vanishing. All of the witnesses on the corner I.D. Jepsen as the killer. He's arrested after running into a bar to make a phone call to someone who could help...Lt. Mike Stone, who coached him as a child in Little League.

Reunion Show: 1992's Back to the Streets of San Francisco, with Karl Malden and Darleen Carr (who played the recurring character of his daughter Jeannie on the original series). Michael Douglas doesn't appear, although he did play a San Francisco cop in another production that year. The hunt for Keller's murderer is a major plot element.

And Starring: Michael Douglas gets "Special Guest Star" billing on his final episode(s) the two-parter "The Thrill Killers"; as does Mark Hamill on the 1977 episode "Innocent No More" (Star Wars opened several months after the episode first aired).

Shout-Out
 The Streets of San Francisco / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Writer Rick Huskynote would go on to create a successful cop show of his own in T.J. Hooker. was a member of the "Memphis Mafia", the name for Elvis Presley's close circle of friends, and he often used the names of other 'mafia' members for characters in his scripts. In his script for the episode "Target: Red", the villains are named Jerry Schilling and General Robert 'Red' West, after friends of his in the Memphis Mafia. Additionally, another character is named Myrna Schilling, after Jerry's wife, a background singer for Elvis, another character is named Lamar Fisk (there was a similarly named member of the Memphis Mafia, Lamar Fike), and yet another character in the episode is named Vernon Presley, after Elvis's dad. The front desk's Sergeant's name is Sekulovich. Karl Malden's real name was Mladen Sekulovich. His parents were so hurt that he changed his name for stage purposes, so he asked the series' producer if they could include a character named Sekulovich to honor his parents and they obliged.

"Reason You Suck" Speech: The title character of "Police Buff" is given one by a cop when he tries to express his sympathy over a killer going free (and gets berated for being a coward). The P.B. later gives a stronger variant to himself back at home - which leads to him taking actions into his hands...

Pointy-Haired Boss: Newly-minted Captain Keely in "The Glass Dart Board," whose chart-centric approach to his job interferes with Stone and Keller's search for a sniper randomly shooting at a high-rise - and Keely having a Nice Job Breaking It, Hero moment when he personally ruins an operation to locate the sniper which would have worked if he hadn't come flying in (literally, in a helicopter). In fairness, Keely does eventually realize he's an embodiment of The Peter Principle and returns to where he can be useful.

Cain and Abel: Dimitri Kampakalas (Scott Marlowe) and his brother Jason (Paul Michael Glaser) in the episode "Bitter Wine". Jason served a prison sentence for a double vehicular homicide that his brother committed, so that Dimitri could operate the family winery. When Dimitri carries out his plan to torch the winery for the insurance money and a security guard is killed in the process, guess whom he frames for the crime?

Everybody Owns a Ford: The series was sponsored by Ford Motor Company, and half of the vehicles shown were new Ford cars. In the early episodes, Keller and Stone drove a brown 1971 Ford Galaxie four-door sedan and the entire SFPD cruiser fleet consists of Ford Galaxies.
