Strike ForceStrike Force was an American action-adventure/police procedural television series that aired on ABC during the 1981-1982 television season. The program starred Robert Stack as the leader of a group of specialized detectives and police officers whose job is to stop violent criminals at any cost (usually with a hail of gunfire). Mixing elements of Stack's classic TV series The Untouchables from 20 years earlier with doses of and Dirty Harry, the series immediately provoked controversy over its violence - at one point the series was labelled the most violent in American TV history - though the series attempted to interject liberal amounts of humor into its regular characters and balanced the violence by focusing on the detectives' personal lives. For example, Stack's character is a recent divorcee who is stuck with a house that was painted pink by his ex-wife; Sgt. Rosie Johnson became a policewoman after her husband went missing in Vietnam and enjoys making jokes about her bust size. Although initially popular, the novelty of the series quickly wore off and only 19 episodes were produced. The first episode was released on video in North America in the late 1980s. The cast included Trisha Noble, Richard Romanus, Herb Edelman, Michael Goodwin and Dorian Harewood.
