1970's Spelling & Goldberg crime drama in which a crack Special Weapons and Tactics team with bad hair drove around in what looked like a UPS truck fighting crime in an unidentified California city. The series was criticized as "too violent" for TV and lasted 30 episodes and most of its cast went on to have roles in Love Boat and/or Fantasy Island. The theme song, which climbed the top-40 charts in 1976, was just a bit more enduring.
"Let's watch S.W.A.T. since it's the 1970s and we only have a few channels and programs to choose from, and VCRs and DVDs haven't been invented yet."

Special Weapons and Tactics. A special group of handpicked expert policemen and/or ex-soldiers, these people are only called upon when the situation gets "tactical." Specializing in complex operations, such as hostage rescue, riot control, and urban assaults, they are armed with watered down military weapons and specialized equipment, including, but not limited to, C2 door breaching charges, Kevlar Outfits, GSG-9 boots, Gas Masks, Tear Gas, Tazers, Pepper Spray, LTL (Less Than Lethal) weaponry, among other things. They are also trained in various close quarters self defense techniques.
The S.W.A.T. are encouraged not to kill, if possible, and are only authorized to only return fire when either
a) Under fire
b) An innocent/teammate is in danger
However, there have been cases where they have overexcercised there right to kill.
To put it simply, just don't fuck with them.
