- TriviaBy the time of the series' final season, Kate Jackson was receiving the most fan mail of all cast members.
- GoofsAnytime the officers are responding code 3 (lights and sirens) the sirens in the patrol cars are on wail and yelp simultaneously. In order to change the sounds on an emergency vehicle siren it must be done manually with the switches on the siren box inside the vehicle. It is impossible to have two sounds going at the same time.

Featured review
I remember this series with great fondness. I was seriously contemplating a career in law enforcement when I grew up, and this show had great appeal. Three brand-new, fresh-out-of-the-academy police officers were going to clean up the mean streets of Santa Clara, California! They were all "pretty people": Michael Ontkean, Georg Stanford Brown, Sam Melville and, not to be forgotten, Kate Jackson. The plots were frequently paper thin and the acting was always terribly earnest, but there was still a certain something that made it very watchable. Not the least of these intangibles was Gerald S. O'Loughlin as the supervising (and long-suffering) lieutenant. It does not stand the test of time - I mean, really, who believed that two rookies would be assigned to ride together and a third would be assigned to lone patrol with no senior officer in sight? And while replacing Michael Ontkean with Bruce Fairbairn didn't work for me, it still has the charm of nostalgia.
