Who remembers the TV show S.W.A.T.?

[mcaldwell]

I just saw a trailer for a new movie based on the old series. I guess it comes out in August and stars Samuel L Jackson (For the kids out there, "S.W.A.T." came out in the mid 70's and ran alongside "Emergency" for a couple of years).

Should be worth my eight bucks to see how they remake it (or for a laugh if nothing else).

Thank you sooooooooo much for bringing up the subject.

I've got the @#!$ theme song running through my head and it won't go away.

I have heard of it, being 15, I am too young to have seen it. I had heard rumors that they were going to make a EMERGENCY! movie but that was like last year.

All I hear now are wah-wah pedals and keyboards!!!! I am now going to hear the theme song all day long!

Good thing I like the show and the theme song!!!

If it's got Sam Jackson, I'm definately in. He's a bad mother---SHUT YO MOUTH! (Not as good as the original, but I love Samuel L Jackson!)

Mark Shera....................(very very heavy sigh)

I had such a crush on him as a teenager............as for the theme song, I used to twirl the baton to that one

I remember it. I watched it. Seems like the network's mad programmer cancelled all of my favorite shows. I will NEVER forgive them for cancelling Crime Story. NEVER!

I remember SWAT well, but I thought "Police Story" was the best, especially the episodes with "Dandy" Don Meridith.

I remember that show. I used to watch it as a kid. I also remember all the junky plastic SWAT toys they used to sell as well.

Damn theme song!! Looked at the trailer for the movie...looks awesome cant wait till it comes out. BUT THEN..I saw everyone talking about the theme song..so I figured eh..I'll see what the fuss is all about...yea well now here I am humming the song....and I know It's gonna be stuck in my head for a day or 2..

I had all the SWAT toys. You just can't find a good toy M-16 these days.

I just saw they are releasing a remake of this show in the theater. I hope they don't go crazy and remake all of these old shows, like Kojak or Starsky and Hutch. Though when I was a kid I wanted their cool red car with the white stripe.
