Officer Jim Reed (Kent McCord) is still on probationary status with the LAPD as Adam-12 begins its second season. However, Jim is lucky indeed that he has a partner as experienced and generous as Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) to show him the ropes. It is during this season that we meet Reed's wife Jean (here played by Mikki Jamison) for the first time. In fact, Jean has a baby, and a beaming Malloy is named the kid's godfather. The partners' various assignments involve a crooked cop, a bank robbery, a tense hostage situation, an uncomfortable liaison with a gung-ho SWAT team, a courtroom date, and a few dust-ups with typical Dragnet-style longhairs who regard all cops as "pigs." Just a typical year in the lives of two sublimely typical LAPD officers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
