S.W.A.T.

Show Summary

Aired: 1975 - 1976
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US

This series brought army-style warfare to big-city
police work. S.W.A.T. stood for Special Weapons And
Tactics, whose job it was to tackle situations--usually
violent ones--that line police couldn't handle, with
whatever weaponry was necessary. Vietnam veterans
all, the S.W.A.T. squad dressed in semimilitary attire,
and were organized along the lines of a front-line
patrol. Lt. Harrelson was the C.O., Sgt. Kay the
observer and communicator, Jim the team scout, Dominic
the marksman, and T.J. the backup. Often the young
junior officers were a bit too eager to use their
firepower, and Harrelson had to hold them back. But
as often as not, it was blast away. The team
traveled in a specially equipped van.

LL Cool J was in the movie and he used the sample of the old shows theme in his 80's song-I'm Bad.

This show was a huge hit. No one even knew what a SWAT team was before this show. I took piano lessons at the time, bought the sheet music and played the theme at one of my piano recitals!

As a child of the year 1975; me and my mother used to watch this show, Cannon and Barnaby Jones. We used to watch all of the shows in during that time. I wish they send the rest of the espiodes out on dvds because I got the first 13 or 15 shows on dvds when they came out on dvds.
