To name a few...
The adventures of Robin Hood (1938) with Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland and Basil Rathbone.
Adam-12
Dragnet
Most John Wayne Westerns, all the drinking aside, are usually pretty good.

One thing I find interesting about the old police shows is that the drug and crime problems, which were relatively new in the 50s and 60s and which the shows strove to blot out, only got a lot worse over time. I remember seeing a Dragnet where dogs were first trained to sniff out drugs from a warehouse, it was something never tried before and worked marvelously, they really thought they finally found a way to stamp out the importing of drugs.

I loved " On Borrowed Time" with Lionel Barrymore ( 1939)
I saw it first only a few years ago when a friend loaned me the video.
It has a spiritual premise , ( not Catholic) but was extremely entertaining. The little boy who plays Barrymore's grandson was one of the best child actors I have ever seen.

Below is a poor link to a fantastic movie for teens and pre teens.
It's the story of an obnoxious california teen who is sent to his grandfather for the summer in Calorado.
All my grandsons just love this movie and it's an "in your face" story that many teens need to see.
Can be purchased on ebay for $3-$4. Stars Richard Crenna
In the movie below someone wisely shows the picture of another movie to get teens to watch a good one.
Be careful there is another movie with the same name

"Emergency!" Virus (TV Episode 1972) - IMDb

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0570723/
Directed by Lawrence Dobkin. With Robert Fuller, Julie London, Bobby Troup, Randolph Mantooth. A sick lady with a monkey provides the key to a mysterious, highly contagious, and deadly ASIAN virusthat strikes both Dr. Brackett and John Gage. Meanwhile, the firemen rescue a boy from a treehouse and a man from a scaffold. ( maybe the cure could be in this episode.

It is cool to watch this show and compare it to today. First of all, no obese nurse, doctors or firefighters. Nurses are wearing white dresses and caps. see how present day society has really became lame.
