Police Story TV Movie/Pilot Episode: Slow Boy 

Vic Morrow and Chuck Connors. Are you kidding me? Two of the coolest, toughest, actors in Hollywood during their time!

Whaaaat?…The Rifleman pointing a pistol at Diane Baker?.. and Sgt Saunders aiming a shotgun at his head?…and Lou Grant as a detective?….now THIS is CLASSIC TV….😂😂😂

Why those 27 clowns put a thumb down on the original police story..... best tv series ever and yes bring back sweet memory for me..... nostalgic walk along memory lane... especially the theme song.... very very sweet music.... thank you for the download.... keep it up & god bless you all.... always

The Emmy winning pilot for the series "Police Story". Some 40 years later, it still holds up well.

The best TV police show ever. Amazing stars and well written stories. And the best part was Jerry Goldsmith's theme music. It introduced me to Jerry's work which I followed for years until his death. The greatest film composer of all time. Look up the list of his movie scores. Just amazing.

Vic Morrow portrays an excellent cop...very believable!

I love the police chatter in the background of the show.....Loved it then and now....

Vic is sorely missed 😥😪

THANKS! A star studded show of wonderful actors that are no longer with us. Vic Morrow was killed while making Twilight Zone: The Movie (1982). A fan from Las Vegas, NV July 22, 2019

Great television. Better than most films today. Joseph Wambaugh is an excellent author and I've read most of his books. My favorite, of his, remains the New Centurions.

The volume and sound quality on this video upload is fantastic as well as the picture quality. Great classic T.V pilot movie most enjoyable. Thanks!!!!!!

Ed Asner's response to the "changing" Vic Morrow (37:37) was great, as was this episode. They picked the perfect actors for everybody. A lanky 6'5 guy in a crooked home-brewed ski mask holding a pistol ranks pretty high on a list of things I wouldn't want to deal with. -Thanks for uploading!

I didn't become a cop until 1983, but no other writer is able to capture this essence like Joseph Wambaugh. I heard his name mentioned while in the academy, and he was different than Michael Mann, in that he actually worked as a sweet cop with LAPD. It's immense feelings of nostalgia watching this, because my dad was a cop till the age of 83, when he passed, and my mother's dad was a Capt Detective, who helped hire my dad as a cop in 1953. Throughout all my life, all I ever knew was the life of a cop. As it turned out my brothers, and I are still cops. This is why I don't understand these new extremely young cops, who can't separate themselves from capitalism & public service. You can never think you're gonna be rich from being a cop, you have to embrace that you do it because you actually believe that you must protect & serve utilizing the color & spirit of the law, the best you can hope for is that you left a positive legacy for humanity & you'll be buried with your uniform, and bagpipes. I started when I was 19, I'm 52 but I can't seem to let it go, I kept away from supervising, and stayed in shape, so that I could walk the beat for as long as I can. If the keepers of the pearly gates allow me in, I know I'll be walking the beat there as well. Now I stay right above the poverty line, but I've got my oldest about to finish Harvard law, and my 18 & 19 year old finishing next year at UT Austin, and working towards PhD, or JDs, just like their oldest brother. I only wanted to make enough to send my kids to Ivy league schools. It helped that I always made extra money & teaching "OFF DUTY" at the academy, plus I always worked off duty jobs, till this day. If I don't get pushed out by young folks I'll keep doing what my grandfather, father, and brothers & cousins have always done, "pushing" a black & white. Where there is sheep, there will be wolves, thus there must be sheepdogs.

I Liked Him As The Rifleman.Vic Morrow And Chuck Connors RIP.

I like this dad with his kid daughter and their dog too 😄

Vic Morrow steals the show

This was aired in Finland in 1974 when I saw it. I still remember parts of it. In many ways it was more like a proper movie than a tv-show. The show in general was very good for its time. Today I really can't think of any that come even close.

police story series motivated my desire to go treasury enforcement agent in 1978

I majored in Criminology at FSU, in 1970s...as a result of Joseph Wambaugh, books and TV series....retired US Army & law enforcement...

Wow what a cast was like watching all the old shows in one the acting and story was the highlight of a disappear ing run of good shows and actors much appreciated for bringing it to us this was a real classic treat ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

i love old police shows for some reason

I love this series, I always wanted to be a police detective when I was a senior in high school. I even read a lot of history of law enforcement, gun control and criminal law.

Notice the round decorations hanging from the ceiling of the grocery store. I'm from the Chicago area and one of our food stores Dominick's, now defunct had the same decorations in the 70's.

Slow Boy Episode aired Mar 20, 1973 Well written I love it

796 views and about half of them mine. I love Vic Morrow!

Jim ! Brilliant... thank you... This is excellent.. Lou Grant with a pump action ! The part is made for him.. I never heard of this before..

I Like Vic Morrow As A Hero And Chuck Connors As A Hero.Both The Rifleman And Combat.

I was really impressed with Vic Morrow in this. I had a shock when I googled him poor guy his legacy lives on

I can't believe I never saw any of these, Wonderful to find this now, Thank you for downloading these Great story and these were real actor's, not people in costumes

This should have been titled; Sargeant Saunders takes down the Rifleman.

The series encouraged me to become a cop. After 35 years still proud of the blue. But there are those few that give us a bad name. I was told many years ago that you yourself would be your worst enemy on the job. Remembering that, I always treated all people with respect and

These were on to late and i believe in the middle of the week. But at 64 now these are actually pretty good made for TV movies. Better than most that they want you to pay for.

This episode is full of all star talent. The names still resound in 2016. Vic Morrow (ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK), Harry Guardino (PORK CHOP HILL), Ed Asner(Fort Apache , the South Bronx) Chuck Conners(1st base for the Brooklyn Dodgers), Ralph Meeker(THE ANDERSON TAPES).

GREAT SHOW & FANTASTIC ACTING 👍

A great anthology tv series of police and detectives at work and the greatest guest stars from the lead actors to the supporting actors and they make them like this anymore.

Is that what passed for crime in the 1970s. We didn't know we had it so good. Unfortunately it's the next generation that's under fire now.

Joseph Wambaugh wrote a few gripping true crime novels, too.

Vic Morrow And Chuck Connors Were My Dad's Heroes,Vic,Chuck,Dad,Rest In Peace,Three In Heaven.The Rifleman And Combat Were Both My Mom And Dad's Favorite Shows,Vic,Chuck,Dad,Mom,Rest In Peace In Heaven.

Vic Morrow came to Australia in the mid 1970s to appear in a couple of episodes of “The Evil Touch”.

I have a definite bias for 70's and 80's cop/crime shows; still this one (which I missed back in the day), just blew me away; couldn't have anticipated how good this would be.

Police Story was possibly the best drama on Tv, Michael Mann wrote for this show, and later Miami Vice……enjoy this folks, it’s good.

Vic Morrow was one of those super sexy men, a man's man like they don't make anymore. He got better looking with age too. Police Story is still one of the best shows to watch.

Vic Morrow,Ed Asner great tv show.

Like a Clint Eastwood movie, not bad.

Vic Morrow deserved an Oscar for his role in this episode.

Chuck Connors Played A Bad Guy,Vic Morrow Was A Good Guy.

When you take a Bullet for a Friend, it's self sacrifice.

I like Vic Morrow as a bad guy more---But he was a great actor.

Beautiful image quality and a stellar show. Thanks!

Vic Morrow was such an attractive, masculine man. And a talented actor. Still haunts me 40 years later about how he lost his life.

i loved this show...used to watch it faithfully every week. they changed the main actors as the series progressed...interesting.

This is one of the best of the era - thanks for posting it. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA

Man these shows hold up well!

One of my best performances.

Great era show. Thanks.

The best of the series

My favorite episode. Chuck Connors was cousins with a guy I worked with.

Luv, luv, luv Vic Morrow. His character here isn't as sympathetic as Sgt. Saunders in Combat!, but he is such a great actor he can play both equally well.

Always thought this show was great. Different characters and different departments each week, yet recurring roles from time to time also. A real break from all the usual, everything the same week to week to week shows.

Police Story. "Slow Boy."(pilot for the tv series). Guest Cast: Vic Morrow, Diane Baker, Harry Gaurdino, Ed Asner, Ina Balin, John Bennett Perry, Chuck Connors, David Doyle, John Karlen, Sandy Baron, Michael Baseleon, Barbara Rhoades, Mel Scott, &: James Luisi, Also Featuring: Peter Jason, Taylor Lacher, Kim Hamilton, Dianne Hull, Hal Williams, Joseph Bernard, Byron Mabe, James Almanzar, Ray Butenika, Kevin Dobson, Stephen Manley, Dominique Pinassi, Mario Machado, Charles Isen, Gerald York, Bob Harks, Nelson Cuevas, Robert Cole, &: John Escobar.

R.I.P. Vic Morrow still one of the great ones, a man in the whole sense of the word. Mauled by the blades of a chopper, a bad idea from some whimsical director a fifth of mr. Morrow's manhood.

Thank you Joseph Wambugh

Excellent quality upload!. Every episode is well worth watching. Seems today's shows could learn alot from classics like this, oh and was that a young James Cann wearing the yellow outfit by the car talking to the cop about slow boy. Ask cause looked like him and adds more talent to this already talented lineup of actors ✌️

First rate series. With exception perhaps to the CSI series, today's equivalent serve ups doesn't come close...

Vic Morrow Ed Asner Chuck Connors Harry Guardino and Ralph Meeker wow what a freaking cast. If I'm not mistaken this pilot was emmy-winning. just don't make television like this no more. I always enjoyed Hill Street Blues in the '80s too. Nothing's really any better than Colombo though. Sad thing about police story episodes you just don't see it on TV ever!!!! It's been so long since I've seen it episode on TV I think it was the early 90s. It's a damn shame. I guess there may be some TV apps out there that show it not Pluto or Tubi.

Vic is my favorite actor. The best. Long Live Sgt. Saunders!

great pilot. I remember it because of Chuck Connors going bad. The young woman is Diane Baker. 20 years later she plays the senator whose daughter has been kidnaped by the psycho serial killer in Silence of the Lambs, and whose suit was complemented by Hannibal Lecter in Memphis (Oh, Senator... Love ya suit!)? When I lived in SF years ago (2003-04), I recall being behind her in checkout line at the flagship Whole Foods store there on California Street. Came to close to gettin' my Anthony Hopkins on - but sadly resisted.

Great stuff. Thanks for uploading!

Thank you it was great😘

It's sad, young police 🚔 officers don't know who Wambagh is.

Great episode and great show. Nothing today even remotely compares to these 1970's programs. The acting and writing are off of the charts. Thanks for uploading........I do have to say, at 1:17:10 she has one heck of a nerve just ripping her daughter away from her dad. If he was a bum, that would be one thing. But he's very established in his daughter's life. It would be pure evil for that mother and a judge to do anything to interrupt that in any way. Trying to rationalize her daughter will be better off having the mom's new stud adopt the little girl, what a selfish scumbag she is. That mom couldn't care less about her little girl and the relationship with her dad. And if the dad was trying to pull the same stunt on his ex wife, I'd say the same. Rarely is the kid's best interest really taken to heart. It's the idiotic whims of the adults who screw up these kids for life. The hate their exes more than they love their kids. Thank God the laws are much more fair now.

This was not a pansy as police show!

Never knew Vic Morrow hero from Combat starred in Police Story.

Ton Swinburn, God Bless my brother in blue, for after our last tour of duty is 10-7 ,10-42 our spirits are there to stand by every new rookies side, always protecting & serving, even so, he’ll be protecting & serving once through ,the pearly gates of Saint Michael's station house.

Awesome show

Love this Police Story actors from long ago 👍

This is/was great for many reasons. Here's a couple. You get to see TV's "THE RIFLEMAN," the moral, upright Lucas McCain (Chuck Connors), play a total degenerate, homicidal, piece of garbage, and seeming to enjoy doing so. The great location shooting provides a time capsule view of the Middle-to-East San Fernando Valley from almost 50 years ago --- Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Toluca Lake, etc. Much of it has changed, while some of it hasn't.

Vic Morrow walks in a barber shop and asks for a little off the top, lol.

Wow Rotrary Pay Phones, nd Thank you Duch Avery for you Service:)

Vic Morrow Sounded Like Mr.Ellingson,Principal At Clover Park High School.

54:46....A young Jack Clompas (Seinfeld) "Still Writes Upside Down" Lol 😃

Fantastic Stuff

I am taken by this ..HISTORICAL DOCUMENT !..Just look at the cars...

Great show Thanks for posting

Great tv show, I remember watching these as a kid in the late 70's. Do you have more episodes? particularly season 3x5?

This was excellent to see in 2022.

@2:18 at the movies, Joseph Wambaugh's "New Centurions"

Good movie.

This was a great show!!!

Great cast!

never thought I would see chuck connors trying to stay under the radar😀

Sooo....the Rifleman turned bad and Lou Grant became a cop 😁

rotary phones smokin where ever and let's not forget the aluminum tv trays ah the good old days

God bless you, Vic, RIP Shalom, you are missed.😪🙏✡❤

Some might ask you to be their valentine but that is not a license to kill.

Appreciate it if you could find the other PS episode featuring Vic Morrow as Joe LaFrieda. I think it's titled "Countdown". Thanks!

4.42 Cinema "New Centurions" by Joseph Wambaugh - nice bit of self advertising!

Witnessing is not something that you can do by force.

The guy Who plays the main charachter cop looks a bit like Ron Swanson to me.

The best damn police show on TV at the time. It was the closest to portraying the real professional and personal lives of police. It wasn't any of that tacky fluff like other shows of the time such as Adam-12 and TJ hooker or even Starsky and Hutch. This show filled that niche until Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue appeared later.
