Now this is a toy and a TV series that wholly new to me. I saw it inline on an auction a while back.
The Blue Knight and its Police Patrol Car.
I loved toy police cars as a kid so I would have liked this but I don't think this US series was shown here in Blighty.
Is that George Kennedy on the backing card?
Anyone know the toy or the series?
'The Blue Knight' was on US TV in the early 70's. The George Kennedy charactor as seen on the toy is an old experienced police officer who chooses to remain on the beat for his entire career. It was copied in format and style by 'Joe Forrester' starring Lloyd Bridges which had earlier been a one off episode of the 'Police Story' TV series. All of which were copies of 'Dixon of Dock Green' but with bigger budgets.
ReplyDeleteFascinating terran. Not seen joe forrester either. Lloyd. Thats jeff bridges dad isnt it?
ReplyDeleteYes, is. Just ended up here because I was reflecting on TV from my youth. I would have been about 7 when this was on. Don’t remember watching it but remember the ads.
DeleteThanks for that. Stop by Moonbase again!
