POLICE GORY STORY

POLICE STORY
NBC 1973-1979

POLICE GORY STORY
Crazy #8, December 1974
w: Stu Schwartzberg
a: Vance Rodewalt

Anthology series similar to Love, American Style that had no recurring characters, was a different one-shot cop show each week.

Usually, when I'm stumped with caricatures in TV parodies I can check with something like IMDB or Wikipedia to confirm, but since Poilce Story didn't have recurring characters, I'll have to guess. I can tell the new cop in the splash is Richard Thomas from The Waltons. Maybe the other guys are E.G. Marshall and Darren McGavin? A few people suggested maybe Charlton Heston but he didn't do TV.
The foreground of the last panel is Telly Savalas as Kojak. His gimmick was he always had lollipops to quit his smoking habit.
