(just checked it was '85)

My favourite characters were Det. Mick Belker/ Bruce Weitz,

and Lt, Howard Hunter/ James Sikking.

Apparently the station used for filming was shut down in the late nineties and is now a University for the Illinois Police or something.

I used to watch it every week, it was the first of it's kind, with the 'Camera everywhere' type filming, as used later on shows like NYPD Blues, ER etc

It was gritty, and in-your-face, and it wasn't scared to show topics that hadn't been shown before.

Sergent Phil Esterhaus, was played by Michael Conrad, who was replaced by Sergent Lucy Bates, played by Betty Thomas, in, as you say, 1983.

That was a classic show. The creator is also the one behind "Over There" on Sky One.
