what happened to cop shows like this?

I mean, at one time we had stuff like Barney Miller, Baretta, Police Story, and I guess we'll throw in Starsky and Hutch and a couple others, all running concurrently. Now we have David Frickin' Caruso preening around like a guy my aunt couldn't knock flat anytime she wanted, pulling his sunglasses off and saying crap that I guess he thinks is supposed to be wise, in a completely lame little cop wannabe kinda way.

Canna getta ayMEN somewhere in here?

Nowadays get one hit crime show and then spawn a franchise, this does not leave space in the schedules for other shows.

Its that man again!!

Of course not. But then, I'm pretty sure most of my aunts would've been happy to "handle" Barney Miller just anytime he asked.
