- 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
*TRIGGER WARNING*
I've been watching this on my Roku which is airing this for free-I have always loved the nostalgia factor of old 1970's cop shows-and I have to admit, I was a bit shocked at several of the reviewers' contention here that this series "doesn't hold up" in modern times. Then I noticed that all the reviews that make this assertion were written in the early 2000's.
That is, before 2020.
Before the BLM protests/riots.
Before buildings were again being vandalized or out-and-out destroyed in the name of free speech.
Before crowds were again overturning police cars, and calling police officers "pigs," and threatening them with death, simply for doing their jobs.
Before thinly veiled threats against political candidates were again a commonplace sight in public arenas.
Before suspicion and distrust of the establishment again became the order of the day.
Quite simply, the reason these reviewers thought that this series didn't hold up was simple:
They didn't know what was coming (or "coming again," if you prefer).
The powers that be may delete this review if they wish, but the fact remains-
Each of the above scenarios has been shown both on the evening news in the last five years...
...and was dealt with repeatedly as themes on episodes of this show.
Suddenly, for some reason, I think "The Rookies" is very relevant again, and thus "holds up" extremely well. Everything old is new again.
