What happens
Police Woman is an American police procedural television series created by Robert L. Collins and starring Angie Dickinson that ran on NBC for four seasons, from September 13, 1974, to March 29, 1978. The series follows Sgt. "Pepper" Anderson (Dickinson), an undercover officer working for the Criminal Conspiracy Unit of the Los Angeles Police Department, alongside her superior Sergeant William "Bill" Crowley (Earl Holliman) and teammates Pete Royster (Charles Dierkop) and Joe Styles (Ed Bernard). Based on an original screenplay by Lincoln C. Hilburn, the show depicted Pepper going undercover in a wide range of roles to investigate crimes ranging from murder to drug offenses. Police Woman was one of the first hour-long television dramas starring a woman, and it influenced later series such as Charlie's Angels. It prompted a significant rise in applications from women to police departments across the United States. Dickinson received three Emmy nominations and won a Golden Globe award for the role. The show attracted considerable attention during its run, including an eighth-episode controversy in its first season over the portrayal of lesbian characters, which led to NBC agreeing not to rebroadcast that episode following protests from gay and lesbian activist groups.
