i remember watching this show with my brother in the sixties in philadelphia loved the opening with the aerial still shots of new york city. i wind up becoming a philly cop go figure. i guest that show was a incentive to me at that young age im 48 now. wish it would be remastered on dvd. cant even find it on video tape. it used to rerun years ago on one of our uhf stations. but just got out of the service at the time didnt own a vcr then. i just registered today on imdb.if anybody hears any news of episodes floating around let me know.....FYI..actor JACK WARDEN recently past away.

Many of us feel the same way. I think I'll have to stop by ABC in NYC and find out anything if I can about this coming to DVD. There are few shows left that I'm still waiting for, but this is #1 on the list.

Remember when TVLand first made its debut, and how we all were excited about it's potential to rediscover lost tv classics?
That didn't last too long...
I wish there were more channels showing older series unlikely to apppear on dvd.

Yes-this show needs to be on DVD. Even though it's in the long vanished 30 minute format for crime shows this show still manages to tell a great story in that short time. You Tube has couple eps on and that opening theme is as great as I remembered it from the last time I saw this on TV in reruns over 30 years ago. Some of those You Tube eps even have the original network commercials in them!

I thought I was the only person in the world who even remembered this show! I watched it every week and loved it; I was just a kid then, too. I had a great love of actors and good acting even then, and this show had some terrific guest stars as well as the 3 regulars.
I sure agree that it needs to come out on DVD. Now that "Honey West" is coming out - another show I thought no one else remembered - maybe there's hope yet for N.Y.P.D. I agree with the comments here about TVLand. Glad I don't even get that channel anymore because I'd never watch it.
I'm now at that age where I can barely remember what I had for breakfast this morning but I still remember the theme music from N.Y.P.D.!

Why does TVLand suck so much now?
I remember when it used to be great, about 15 years ago or so when I was still a kid.
Oh well. :( When will they realize we DON'T want to see original programming on there, we want to see old shows! That was the whole point!!!
