M Squad had some nice shots of Chicago. Admittedly you may have to squint to see them on some episodes because the image is so bad.

Kojak has some great shots of gritty NY of the 70's. I thought they shot some of the later seasons in NY. I knew season 2 was done in LA. Still some nice establishing shots.

Streets of San Francisco

Hawaii Five O

Naked City is one show I sometimes freeze to look at signs & buildings in the background. A real time capsule.

Miami Vice was always a treat for me when I was snowed in during the winter

I'll grant you that the picture quality is pretty awful on that M Squad release (in fact, Timeless even admits as much at the top of each disc); however, I personally believe that Lee Marvin's star turn as Lt. Frank Ballinger more than makes up for it.

No argument there. I'd never heard of the show but saw the box set pretty cheap so I jumped on it. I'm really enjoying it! A real snapshot of the era.
