S.W.A.T. is a 1970s American television series about the adventures of the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Weapons And Tactics (S.W.A.T.) team. It ran on ABC from February 1975 to April 1976. It's short life was in part because it was considered too violent at the time (though the violence it depicted is actually mild by today's television standards).
The show starred Steve Forrest as the unit's leader, 'Hondo' Harrelson, and Rod Perry as Hondo's second-in-command. The show also featured Robert Urich as one of the team members.
The series is most famous for its fast tempoed theme song which became a number one hit single in 1976 for Rhythm Heritage. The title sequence that used that piece was also familiar with the principle characters responding to a muster signal, grabbing their weapons and proceeding in lock step to their transport van.
