Plot

Just as L.A. cop Jim Reed (Kent McCord) was promoted from rookie to full officer during the third season of Adam-12, so too does Reed's older partner Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) enjoy a boost in pay and rank during the season's fourth season. Malloy is promoted to policeman three this year, one notch below sergeant. Noteworthy season four episodes include "The Sniper," originally telecast October 6, 1971, which is actually the first half of a two-part story, which was concluded two days later on another Jack Webb-produced series, The D.A.. Also, real-life husband and wife Bill Williams and Barbara Hale (the parents of actor William Katt) appear together in the episode "Pick-Up," while George O'Hanlon, best known to cartoon buffs as the voice of George Jetson, is seen as a drunk in "Extortion." And in the series' 100th installment, "Who Won," the ageless Dick Clark makes a rare dramatic appearance. Adam-12 closed out its fourth season with the series' best-ever ratings, ranking as America's 8th most popular program. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
