This week on It Was a Thing on TV, we go on the streets with our motorcycle while looking at the prison system.

First, in 1985, NBC has a little show called Knight Rider and CBS has Airwolf, while ABC has neither. Give an LAPD cop a high-powered motorcycle during his time off-the-clock and he's ABC's response--Street Hawk, another show that was more popular overseas than domestically.
