The show follows the day-to-day adventures of two police officers. Almost all takes place from the view of working the beat in their cars and responding to calls through their radio. Most of it took place on the same street in the same city.

The show was also parodied in issue #158 of the magazine in April 1973 in the article When All of TV Must Grant Equal Time by Tom Koch and Angelo Torres.

These two panels are from The Effect of the Energy Crisis on the Entertainment World illustrated by John Severin in Cracked #119, September 1974

I think the idea is supposed to be that the car has zits.

Typical in these magazines, “bomb”, usually means bad entertainment.

I think a lot of the writers wish orgies were more common than they actually were.

I think the artist would quit as soon as he won the lottery too, seeing as he was too lazy to draw them in the last panel.

And let us not forget the show was a comic series during its last season.
