Cop on the Beat

Overview

An aging street cop goes after a gang of toughs involved in several robbery-rapes on his beat in this pilot (a spin-off from ""Police Story"") for the 1975-76 series. The veteran cop concept also was the basis for ""The Blue Knight"" series at the same time — and that, too, was based on a Joseph Wambaugh creation. Also known as ""The Return of Joe Forrester.""
