sfinthecity, Thanks very much for supplying this series-remember watching it as a boy with my late father. Richard Widmark always good in detective shows and films and always worth watching. Thanks for your channel.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪,, thanks for posting these, I never heard of this series, Widmark was great, very natural....interesting to seen Ronny Cox.....same year as Deliverance and Tony lo bianco 1 year after the French Connection, very enjoyable
My great Madigan story: they filmed a scene around my block, so here I come exiting my local candy store and there comes Madigan, in character, alone, driving an unmarked detective car; he pulled up to the corner of 108ST. and turned left onto Madison Av. circling the block, most likely returning to the starting point of the scene they were filming. In my neighborhood at that time, it was a common sight to see exactly what he was portraying riding around, but that it was Widmark, was mind blowing even to a 12-year-old kid and then fan of the show.
He and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith were two cops. Don Meredith was Detective Bert Jamison Tony Lo Bianco was Sergeant Tony Calibrese
The London Beat" episode is best , he is teamed up with George Cole as a London Cop, they end up directing traffic on London Bridge. It's hilarious. Great supporting cast too.
@sfinthecity==THANKS=Maybe those other 5 episodes of WIDMARKS short SERIES you will give us if possible?? Great to see the 1970s BIG BIG CARS*MANNERISMS of citizens which slowly change with the times!!!!Last of the ROUGH DETECTIVES of the LATE 70S☆☆☆
Absolutely, publishing regularly, Episode 2 hit yesterday: ua-cam.com/video/RGwYEM93ang/v-deo.html where in that episode Madigan looks at a huge Cadillac at 32 min 30 secs and says - "Is that his car or his apartment?"
Wow!! Tony LoBianco as a punk hoodlum!! I always think of him as the consummate good guy from his MANY episodes as a cop on Police Story!! Quite a departure, but very convincing!! And, of course, I love Richard Widmark!! ❤❤
Again the Kojak/Sipowicz police building, this time called 10th precinct. (it was 15th squad in NYPD Blue, and "manhattan south" in Kojak). I wonder why this exact police building was used so much. At least 5 different TV and movie franchises. Perhaps to save paperwork...once the permit to film it was obtained from the city it must have been passed around all the different TV Networks and film studios.
Good day.....The waitress (Angie) asked him if he would like to go to the roller derby on Friday and he commented jokingly to the waitress that roller derby is too violent. Next scene, he's exiting the movie theater where Kansas City Bomber is playing. It's a movie about a roller derby skater starring Raquel Welch.
I can only imagine that Richard Widmark signed on to the TV series without reading the screenplay for the pilot episode, trusting that the 1972 TV series would live up to the 1968 movie by the same name.
Widmark had originally did a pilot for an original series - "Brock's Last Case", but NBC asked him to do a series based on "Madigan" because it got a high rating on its TV airing. I doubt Widmark really wanted to do it - I'm sure he thought "Did NBC see the ending of the movie?" - his insistence that half the episodes of a series about a NYC detective be filmed on location in Europe is kind of a tip off that he wasn't super-serious about the show and saw it as an opportunity to get paid trips to Europe.
Murray Hamilton, the mayor in Jaws 3 years later. Arresting a guy by your late middle aged self with a bunch of younger punks in the room and not getting the crap beat out of you is not realistic lol. No back up cops? Come on man...
Murray Hamilton was no stranger to movies and television. He was in practically every TV show such as Mannix, ABC Movie Of The Week, Barnaby Jones, Columbo, McCloud, Banacek, McMillan & Wife, The FBI, Cannon, MISSION: Impossible, The Streets of San Francisco. Saw him Jaws, Jaws II, No Way to Treat a lady, The Graduate etc.
Very strong in some aspects and pretty weak in others. The production is movie standard and I'm surprised the series was limited to six episodes. However, in this episode, the naive fool Madigan was partnered with was a bit over the top... 7/10 from me. 30 Mar 2024

When that jerk broke that egg 🥚 on that poor old guy’s head and both of those jerks laughed that was all I needed to see to know that I wasn’t going to like this movie 🍿 so I’m not going to watch any more of it. 👎👎👎😱😱😱😳😳😳👋👋👋
I CANNOT believe you have this long forgotten gem. I’m I HEAVEN. Thank you so much!!!!
I seem to be hitting pay dirt lately. You're very kind.
I've been looking to see these 6 episodes again. I loved this short lived NBC Mystery Movie
I'd forgotten this short series, started with a movie a few years before. Richard Widmark did detective roles so well. Thanks so much - kudos to you.
Thank you for that.
Love all these great forgotten gems!!! Thank you so much!!!
Great to hear!

Glad that you enjoyed.
It was shown on irish tv back in the day.
Richard Widmark has been one of my favorite actors ever since I watched the movie 🍿 The Last Wagon. 👏👏👏👌👌👌🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful series, I was looking for it for a long time, thank you very much
You are welcome!
Thanks for this series...Love Richard Widmark.

This wasn’t very good, but Widmark is one of those rare actors where it doesn’t matter if he’s in something bad, you still want to watch him.
Wasn't very good!
Go tune into Friends.
Great Channel- thanks muchly!
Richard widmark always had charisma and is a great actor
Tony Lo Bianco started playing a recurring role as an LA cop about a year later in Joe Wambaugh's anthology "Police Story."
He and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith were two cops.
Don Meredith was Detective Bert Jamison
Tony Lo Bianco was Sergeant Tony Calibrese
Hadn’t seen this in years! Great!
Excellent script and acting
Hey! That opening stock footage of NYC turns up a lot in "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."
The London Beat" episode is best , he is teamed up with George Cole as a London Cop, they end up directing traffic on London Bridge. It's hilarious. Great supporting cast too.
Yeah, I think that one is the best out of the series. And the traffic directing part at the end is hilarious!
the cars, fashions and city scenery are really interesting.

Something old is now new?
Richard Widmark was just Great. As was Ronny Cox.
Great series
Love Madigan and the great Richard Widmark as over the top as it was...but it was the 70s.

I love seeing the old cars and people. Richard widmark is always a cowboy to me. Lol
He may be a cowboy to you, but to me, he'll always be the guy that pushed the old lady in a wheelchair down the stairs

Michael Vale was better known as "Fred the Baker" in long running ad series for Dunkin' Doughnuts - "...Time to make the doughnuts..."
New York when you could still find a parking space.
The streets still have way too much litter .
The first thing guy I noticed was Tony LoBianco, but the second guy I noticed was the “time to make the doughnuts” guy!
🤔🤔
Good day.....His name is Michael Vale. This episode was aired before he became famous for the television commercials for Dunkin' Donuts.

Anything with Richard is gonna be awesome
Early seventies tv cop drama .😊
Is there anywhere to download the original 1968 movie? I've been searching for months without success.
It is on movies2watch
Today they’d both be arrested and jailed for being cops
thank you from manhattan ©2024
I like how this series ignored the ending of the movie. 😂
So this is where Bogomil started his career.
Ronny Cox as Cohagen in total recall .
Madigan was killed at the end of the original movie, yet he lives!
That's the magic of Hollywood 😂😂
It was all a dream ☺

Have you read your own comment??? Grammatically, it doesn’t make any sense. Consider rewriting it.
@@XyzXyz-mm9vq Try reading it again a few times - slowly. I assume you have some comprehension issues? Did you get past grade 4?????? 😆😆😆😆
@@XyzXyz-mm9vq I wrote the comment for those who had passed grade 4. Read it again in a few years... 😆😆😆
Same from me. The only bit I found unconvincing is when Ronnie Cox has a chat with James Sloyan in the pool hall. 9th of September 2024.
@@MN-pu6qx You left out a comma or two. ☺
They should have never done this series. The movie was great, but I’m sure Widmark did it for a pay check.
Unfortunately the NYPDs image hasn’t changed 50+ years later.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
It's gotten worse.
Get this. @22:14 he parks his car in front of a fire hydrant.
If you want to know what a bored horse looks like, start at 12:12. The Normans of this world are the major problem.
When watching old tv like this it shows how truly ugly american cities are.
