I watched some of it back in the 70s. After seeing it again i'm amazed of how independent and apart the SWAT team is in relation to the police force. They didn't have to deal with bureaucracy and they even did their own detective work!! The series was highly rated at the time but was abruptly canceled after the second season due to pathetic claims of excessive violence. I believe it was the first television show to feature the M-16 rifle. In fact, it's one of the stars of the show!
