S.W.A.T was a spin-off off the other great police drama of the 1970s - "The Rookies" SWAT told the stories of an elite police unit called Special Weapons and Tactics Unit or S.W.A.T for short.
They handled situations to dangerous for the regular police.
The show was very violent for the time and the SWAT officers were more violent than the criminals they were going against.
What was cool about this show was the title music which hit the TOP 10 in 1975 and the team scrambling into their truck, speeding to a scene, and then rushing into action. They did it without the body armor and helmets we see such officers wear today.
When I kid, my friends and I would play SWAT and today I wish I could watch the repeats.
Without the theme music and action it would be a run of the mill police show.
