Apologies for starting another thread but despite searching I can't find the thread that mentioned CBS Action were showing "Streets".Anyway, question is have I missed the pilot episode or did they not show that?

I hadn't noticed this was on, so thanks for the reminder!
The 2 hours pilot seems to have not been shown, but I noticed the first two episodes are on tomorrow at midnight and 1am so I've V+ the series from there.
And I managed not to miss any episode, yay!
NB: My observations are based on recording/watching the 7pm showings-I've not been watching the weekend omnibus so not sure if these three missing episodes have been shown at other times.
For anyone interested in the episodes that have not been show, they are all on youtube.

According to their mouthpiece on Facebook, Streets of San Francisco will return in the Autumn.
One question I have which I find very confusing is why does Mike Stone's daughter Jeannie, call him Mike and not dad for? Their kissing on the lips I find a bit odd if not disturbing too. If she was his daughter in law, then I'd understand but even then the kissing on the lips would be a bit full on even for that. What's going re Mike and his daughter?
Looking forward to watching it again when the channel launches on Freeview next month.
It always amazes me what channels appear on freeview but if you pay for the channels on a package with Sky/Virgin, you almost have to subscribe to the main packages to get channels like CBS action, yesterday and others.
As for the daughter, maybe, haven't seen it mentioned anywhere though.
They sure did bring back a lot of the actors they used before in previous episodes didn't they? I quite like that they did.
I remember watching this sometimes when it was on back then. A lot of the series from back in the '70s and '80s are starting to be reshown now, which is a good thing.
She's definitely his biological daughter, as it was mentioned in an early episode. I also recall she called him Daddy once, and he became very emotional ... later explained to Keller that she hardly ever calls him that.
Maybe it's a thing daughter's of cops called their dad's in the US back then, as Christine Cagney always called her father 'Charlie' as well.
I did read somewhere that Stone was an absent father when Jeanie was a child as he was always working so that is why she knew him as Mike.
All guess work though ....

A shame CBS Action are not going to show seasons 4 & 5 quite yet. They're back to S1 again (for the 3rd time this year)
I found IMDb's thread on the subject while perusing their pages on the series.
I am going to watch it again Simon.
I was watching an episode a few days ago and i think its from series 1 and its an episode where Jeanie's friend was murdered on a bus shortly after Jeanie got off that bus. Jeanie was talking about her dad as Mike then and right at the end of the episode she called him dad/daddy as she said goodbye to him and Mike Stone hinted that it had been ages since she last called him that.
I got the feeling that she might have been pscyhologically damaged after the death of her mother but thats also me assuming the mother is dead. Your theory could be right too.
Jeanie was quite a determined young woman. Even in that episode she seemed to be only 18 and this was set/made in the 70's and she was talking about what would make her dad accept a boyfriend and said as long as she could get him to accept it wasn't just a sex thing. i found that quite full on for that time period and in a conservative country then and still is now to a large extent including on TV it seems.
Am I right in assuming this must have irritated a lot of people when it was aired originally as I don't recall Stone calling him that in series 2?
S4 starts next Tuesday (24th March) at 4pm.
I know they have a habit of changing their minds so fingers crossed.
I was surprised to see a Dexter double bill buried away at 2am on a Sunday once a week. Very odd scheduling sometimes with this channel.
They do seem to have very strange scheduling don't they Cody.
I shall have to record S4 of Streets of San Francisco as it's only on once a day. No repeat as far as I can see.
