This is the most underrated show in TV history.

This show was actually ahead of its time. It would have probably lasted longer today with one of the cable networks. It was definitely better than anything on today.

A hell of a show and much underrated. Dennis Farina is a legend.

My grandpa used to let me stay up late and watch this show with him when I was little, I remember he'd shut the light off and we'd watch it in the dark. Those were the good ole days, and this show actually got me into old 1950's cars!

This show was the Breaking Bad of it's day, great acting, story, writing, cinematography, and of course a budget to match. It is a real tragedy that it only lasted two seasons.

Great music, great cars, great actors, great history.

When I was a teenager in the 80s, my mom and I would watch this together. She told me a lot of stuff from her early years which happened during this decade. It helped bring us together. I never hear the theme without remembering when we both were younger and life seemed unlimited. How I wish the younger generations could enjoy the way we lived then.

Danny throwing the car into gear at 0:33 is such a damn cool shot.

This show blows everything out of the water that's on tv today.

LOVE the engine sound from the Ford!!! Thats a sound that RULES!!

My favorite song and I have a 59 Ford custom 300 as well

Scott: That was a 312 Thunderbird Special; you're right: Those old Fords can't be equaled in sound or performance, even by today's cars!

Love this show. RIP Dennis Farina.

Channel 4 10pm Friday nights in NYC after Miami Vice. Miss the 80s..

My mom swore by this show and I didn't get into it until decades later. She knew it. This show seriously has everything. Way ahead of its time!

I used to watch this when I was a kid. That song is unforgettable! :)

Dennis Farina, gone to soon RIP my Hero!!

Loved this show Del Shannon and Dennis Farina and all the cast were the best ever'

damm one of the best series ever😍

Two and a half tons of North American made steel powered by 8 cylinders firing on 17 cent gasoline. No fish tail, no chatter no nothing, just 15" rubber tires grabbing asphalt.

That show was BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three famous rock and roll musicians of the past contributed to Crime Story: Del Shannon sang a revised version of his hit "Runaway" as the theme song, and Todd Rundgren started the musical direction of the series, with Al Kooper taking over as the series musical director. While early episodes played music of the era or earlier, Kooper later allowed tunes from years after 1963 to appear on the soundtrack.

Love the sound of those FE Block Police Interceptors!

This T.V. show was too brilliant for its time. If it were released today on cable (AMC) or on Netflix, it would be huge. I remember watching this show as a child and couldn't understand why it was canceled so soon. I would suggest a reboot, but Dennis Farina is irreplaceable. P.S.: Did you know Ted Levine and Andrew Dice Clay were also part of this cast?

Del Shannon and Dennis Farina how good can it get RIP.

Was this an AWESOME show or what??!!

How much I miss Dennis Farina, a truly great man who used to be a Chicago Cop...

I loved this show! Excellent cast and stories.

When this show came on…that meant it was Friday!!!

This show was some of my earliest memories. I’ll always know this song lol

rip dennis great actor and person take it easy in heaven

Good god I still love this show!

R.I.P. Dennis Farino

Listen to that Ford V8 motor screamung!!!!.. Awesome sound!!!

he was a great actor, I love this tv show

I'm still in love with 1980's Anthony Dennison, oh yeah and this show too

UNA MARAVILLA DE SERIE Y DE CULTO.... YA NO SE HACE NADA IGUAL... SIEMPRE GRANDE FARINA... 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

Dennis farina was one very handsome man.

Crime Story, the most recent version of Les Miserables! Javert had his Jean Valgean, Lieutenant Gerard, had his Richard Kimble, and Michael J. Torello had his Ray Luca!

rip dennis we miss your bro

Thank you keeping the magick going!⚡️🙌🏻⚡️✨❤️✨

I was very fortunate to find this wonderful show all in a thrift store for only $20

I have the complete collection :D Ray Luca was my favorite character... R.I.P torello.

I liked the film "Crime Story 1986" and like "Classic car" their are format together .

I was allowed to stay up and watch this with my parents if I was quiet. I loved it.

the whole series is on dvd now! 9 dvd set!

Damn, these guys are cool.

The Untouchables of 80's

Great show. Wish it had last longer than two seasons.

Great show, good concept...predated Mad Men and other "period piece ensemble dramas" too bad it was cancelled. .. I blame the hated "sit-com"

Too bad Michael Mann didn't make a movie version of this show like he did with Miami Vice

Adored this show....all those amazing actors

One of my favorite

Ford Fairlane is great car!

Back in the day Men were Men and the bad guys were afraid !!

RIP Torello

AMAZING show!!!!

Just Awesome.

- This one was a good series and much because of Mr. Farina was a real Policeman. That created a certain "authentic aura" around scenes. Not a typical case in this sense although the genre in itself is popular, also here in Europe.

Great video with the old Ford just getting the power to the rear wheels! And a armed robbery scene where the bad guys are not telling people to give up their cell phones. At 0:55 the bad guy has the 1911 with the hammer back, which is the way it should be, then at 1:59 the guy in the rear seat of the Ford pulls the charging handle of the M1 Carbine to chamber a round then Torello pulls the slide of his 1911 then engages the Thumb Safety after a round is chambered. To bad that show didn’t go on for a few more years!

Has anyone mentioned the automotive porn starting at 2:07, the sound of a 292 Ford Y Block screaming? Oh and by the way I would think the people at the drive in would know who the police that stopped in were, police are predictable in where they stop for food.

Now one of these guys "Mike Torello" played by Dennis Farina has passed away 22th of july so saddend to read about this today, I cry..... RIP Dennis Farina love you

I LOVE the OLDIEs but GOODIEs MUSIC. I Miss this Show Growing Up DAMM..

more of 30 years ago I see that movie and I fall in love with the song

So nostalgic!

The 80s had SOOOO many amazing shows

Best show of the 1980s. Period

RIP Del Shannon.

Q.E.P.D. Dennis Farina,se nos va otro de los grandes del cine, como olvidar la serie conocida en Chile como CHICAGO 1963, con esa canción de fondo RUNAWAY espectacular, vuela alto Dennis Farina, los ochenteros te recordaremos siempre...

Remembering this show made me recollect the show Wiseguy. A lot of good crime/drama in the 80s.

The two seasons are available on Tubi for free and on Prime on the IMDB channel . Started watching it again this week.

Una serie policial muy bien hecha en todos los sentidos.

Que recuerdos de mi niñez con ésta sería ,bonita canción .

So cool.

Great memories

I watch this movie when i was a child

1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie in Crime Story,Finaly found the model of the car in this opening scene. the link ot the site is here www.imcdb.org/vehicle_91110-Ford-Fairlane-500-Galaxie-1959.html

Super przeboj i ieden zlepszych seriali kryminalnych.

Expectacular escena única... Más con el tema de fondo

So cool

I miss that show.

YO ViVO ENAMORADA D HITORIA DL CRIMEN

One of the best cop shows ever.

Nice

This was the best opening scene from any show ever. It completely sets up Torello's character. Does anybody know if that's Joe pesci at the table at 55 seconds?

fue las mejor del pasado

@LadyDiazepam According to IMDb "Del Shannon re-wrote and re-recorded his classic hit "Runaway" for the title sequence of the series."

Check out the "bat mobile" at .38

well played sir.

Fucking loved this show

I agree

anyone else notice towards the end when they were playing the call in that it sounded familiar to the call in's on grand theft auto?

RIP :(

Farina & Luca, godz!!!

I loved that show,like watching Scorsese tv

I Agree.

Mike Torello and Ray Luka

Jansons (restaurant in opening) still looks the same. But back in the 80s their burgers were so good. And of course, the deep fried tacos.

The best crime tv series ever made. Along with Miami Vice.

if it was already answered here somewhere sorry for the question but.. why did it only have 2 seasons?
