The Street is an American police drama that aired in syndication five nights a week in 1988.[1] A total of 65 thirty-minute episodes were produced.

Synopsis

Filmed on location in Newark, New Jersey and other northern New Jersey cities, The Street was filmed mostly at night with handheld cameras[2] which gave it a documentary look. The series followed two sets of patrolmen, Officers Bud Peluso and Arthur Scolari, who used patrol car 260 on the 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm shift, and Officers Jack Runyon and Sheppard Scott, who used the same car from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am. Stories centered on the officers lives', on and off-duty.

The Street used frank language and had gritty, adult subject matter. As a result, the program had an on-screen warning and was run after 11:00 pm on most stations.
