Why Streets of San Francisco might be annoying
The pilot episode was up against two white-hot CBS sitcoms (Mary Tyler Moore and Bob Newhart).
The first season was shot mainly in Los Angeles.
When Hatch took over for Douglas very early in the final season, ratings took a nosedive and never recovered.
NBC aired the ‘reunion’ movie Back to the Streets of San Francisco (1992).

Douglas produced the Oscar-winning One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest during the show’s run.
