Talent Associates production
for
ABC (Tuesdays 9:30 pm EST)
Created by Albert Ruben
Executive Producer David Susskind, Daniel Melnick
Produced by Bob Markell (all episodes except pilot)
US Police series 1967-1969   49 episodes x 30 min (16 mm color film)

Starring
Jack Warden as Det. Lt. Mike Haines
Robert Hooks as Det. Jeff Ward
Frank Converse as Det. Johnny Corso

Premise:
A police series somewhat like "Naked City" with lots of New York City
locations being used.

"This series paints a tough, realistic portrait of the work of
the New York City Police Department. Filmed on location, N.Y.P.D.
utilizes the highly mobile hand-held camera and stream-of-
consciousness narrative."

"Flute Patrol - Theme from NYPD" Charles Gross and Charles Fox

Email to ctva:
My name is Bob Markell and I produced all of the shows (except the pilot).
David Suskind and Dan Melnick were Executive producers ..a point of information..
This was the first (I don't know if it was the only) Network Series at the time to film in 16mm and using hand
held techniques that we now take for granted..It was ahead of it's time and has been compared to the French
avant-guard films of the period. We had something in common with the avant-guard..We all had very low budgets
and improvised to get what we got.
Bob Markell, September 2010
