These are pretty damn good. Half hour -- no filler, all action. Great theme, great background music. Great Chicago, great cars. O.K., there are no people of color, and the women, few that there are, are pretty passive. But a great slice of history. Lee Marvin IS Lee Marvin, born fully formed, right here.

Love seeing that this episode started with a 1958 Edsel.

Lee Marvin - one of my all time favorite actors. He is awesome in Point Blank!

I was born in Chicago just 4 years after this show first aired, and for whatever reason I never saw a single episode in re runs, in fact, until a few weeks ago I was completely unaware of M Squad. Watching the street scenes of this show is a real trip down memory lane!

I wonder what happened to Chicago. Oh wait, I know. Too bad. They did it to themselves. Great episode.

I remember men who lived in my street used to wear hats like these, I was only 7 years old in 🦘 Australia

These shows had some great writing and direction. The ledge scene at the end was dang convincing. Lee Marvin was a great character actor.

So that's where they came up with the opening for Police Squad starring Leslie Neilson.

You can see how Police Squad drew from this.

I love that 1957 Ford

This is the infamous "crooked cop" episode that made Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley so angry that he declared the city off limits to any further TV or movie productions.

Lee Marvin:"Come off that ledge or I'll come out and kick your ass."

[@billhuber2964]

Marvin had many diverse roles. Police to outlaws.

Oh my, I'd not seen this since its first run...a LONG time ago! And I now see what they were parodying in The Naked Gun. 😂

[@Abbatobia]

LEE MARVIN IS ONE THE NO 1 MARVELLOUS ACTORS IN THE WORLD.

[@websterforrest]

Oh my GOD - that is the opening from Police Squad! :D
