Spooktober: Trick or Treat (The New Adam-12, 1991)

 Halloween is 3 weeks away, so let's serve up a Halloween themed episode of The New Adam-12.

While the kiddo's are doing some trick or treating, with 2 officers costumed for the occasion, someone's taking advantage of the occasion to commit crimes. Marvin Kaplan (ex-Alice, Top Cat) makes a now-rare appearance as a store owner who is one of the robbery victims.


The revival didn't have the staying power of the original Adam-12 (1968-75), but don't blame that on its leads, Peter Parros (ex-Knight Rider) and Ethan Wayne. Some of the writing, coupled with the show being syndicated and often pre-empted, had more to do with the series lasting just 2 seasons.

Rating: B.
