LEOs: Were any of you influenced to become a policeman growing up watching Adam-12

I don't know if this is just urban legend, but I've heard it said that the TV program Adam-12 produced by Jack Webb influenced a lot of boys in the late 60s and early 70s to pursuit a career as a policeman.
Would that be true of any of you?

Not me! I like to joke around and those guys never crack a smile

. If any TV show would've influenced me, it would've been Hill Street Blues. We have one guy that could be Animal's clone!
