Yes please watch Adam 12 totally on its own merit and not just so I have someone to talk to about it 😭 (for realz tho, it's so so good, I love Pete and Jim with my whole heart. it has some campy moments and some cons of being a product of its time in some areas, but you can tell the heart of the writing was genuine even then and it still treats those subjects as well or better than most of its peers.) Also it's **funny as heck** as well as ripping your heart out. I haven't seen much of The Rookie but from what I hear, you're 100% correct. I love love love procedural dramas but I'll never be able to quite look at them the same after seeing Adam 12 do things the way everyone has since decided the genre isn't able to do.

I relate to that SO HARD I'm not gonna lie. Also fun fact, my sister saw the post about Adam 12 that I reblogged and IMMEDIATELY went to go put it on hold at the library, because it's not on any of our streaming services. So yeah we're definitely gonna check this out!! Your propaganda for it is 101 percent successful-- I really, really love me a show that's funny as heck while also ripping my heart out. And it'll be nice to watch a show where the cops aren't committing atrocities every five second (*fake cough* Chicago PD *fake cough*)

Anyways I digress. Thank you for the accidental rec, I'm so excited to check this show out!!

#don't get me wrong i like chicago pd okay #i'm actually quite fond of some of the characters #but my STARS there's a new war crime every episode #thanks for the ask!! #adam 12

Speak Now Appreciation

I wrote 12 stories based on Taylor Swift's Speak Now. I am going to improve the Adam-12 one, and I haven't got all of them published on Wattpad. Wattpad is being very annoying and not letting me publish things. I am only going to link the series where all the stories are in Wattpad

I've been watching Adam-12 and the evolution of the cop show is just fascinating as an examination of cultural portrayals of cops. Specifically the way professionalism is heavily, heavily emphasized throughout-- in an early episode Reed says "What kind of mother are you?" to a woman who won't tell them what her kids might have taken out of her narcotic stash, in favor of claiming they have epilepsy and are just out of it sometimes. He doesn't say it threateningly or even really raise his voice... and he gets a lecture from Malloy as soon as they're alone because with the badge and the gun comes an expectation of professionalism and not taking anything personally, and Malloy is portrayed as entirely in the right. (Also in that episode Reed asks if he has to put the part where he chased a suspect over a wall and fell into a pool into the report and is told yes, accuracy is very important.)

Wanting to exercise your right to remain silent also isn't treated as inherently suspect-- though granted the nature of their job being patrol officers means they're usually catching people in the act and remaining silent is the only sensible course of action at that point.

I would be surprised if cops were actually like this in that era, but it speaks to where the Overton window is with regard to cops then and now-- because this was a very popular show and would absolutely have been shaping public perception.

I'm fixing to lose sleep over pondering what America would look like right now if the past 50+ years of procedural crime dramas had taken their cues more from Adam-12 (which follows two imperfect LAPD officers upholding the law and clearly more interested in helping victims than arresting bad guys) and fewer cues from Hawaii Five-0 (which follows a taskforce of people given full immunity and means to catch the bad guys no matter the cost).

The sheer number of people who joined the police force because they were inspired by the integrity of Pete and Jim vs the number of people who have since been inspired to join law enforcement based on the potential accolades, heroic autonomy, and cowboy power presented in the majority of crime dramas produced since. Stories are powerful, and sometimes I just think we follow the wrong narratives.
