There were a lot of great show opens throughout the 70's, but which one or two do you think just epitomizes the feel and style of the decade?

can't link to youtube at work but how about Adam 12 and Emergency

Two come to mind..:

Welcome Back Kotter (homespun earthy coolness), Charlies Angels (nice disco feel).

Close runner ups are Baretta and Starsky&Hutch (Year 2)

Pretty much all of them...

But the one show that really does it for me is The Six Million Dollar Man...

- star/main character - centric
