    Vintage Cop show TV documentary on PBS

    Looks like this is right up our alley....

    The Pioneers of Television series on PBS is really good. The Sci-Fi one was very enjoyable. Pioneers of Television | PBS

      I've been enjoying it. It's creepy tho how both Peter Graves and Robert Culp both dropped dead of heart attacks following their interviews for the series. And Stephen J. Cannell too, who looked perfectly healthy in his interviews, but soon died of melanoma.

        I thought Robert Culp died from injuries sustained from falling down?

          I've been recording all the Pioneers of Television specials: Sci-Fi, Westerns, Crime Dramas, and this week is Children's programming. Great stuff!

            The NY Times reported he had a massive heart attack and collapsed while out for a walk.
