The New Breed Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
mfiedl I also can't figure out why this show didn't make it. It was a hit when I was in 7th grade with my peer group.Show had a great theme song.Typical Quinn Martin production, based on the technical architecture of his other shows (The Fugitive) First time I had seen Leslie Nielsen in a straight dramatic role since Forbidden Planet and 1 appearance on the Untouchables. Who would have guessed his greatest success would have come in comedy? John Beradino also did a good job; he was another Untouchables alum, having starred in a couple of episodes.Maybe it's time to get this one on DVD.
Tremayne3 The New Breed was a great TV show. For some reason I could never forget it. The music of the show was terrific as well, I remember it perfectly. I really don't expect ever to find it on DVD, but who knows, it would be a blessing to watch it again. All my friends from my age remember The New Breed so its not been forgotten. It is well alive in our memories and in our hearts. In general I would say that the best TV show were produced during the sixties and the seventies. I would love one day to be able to have a conversation with Leslie Nielsen and ask him to bring back memories from the show. He's a fine actor. I don't know how many of the original stars are still with us.
RSull45102 Forty five years ago when this series first screened, I was certain it would be a success. Why it was so short lived remains a mystery.This series was in fact based on a particular Division within the Los Angeles Police Department. Metropolitan Division. Metropolitan Division was then, and remains today, the most selective of all LAPD Division's in selecting its personnel. Hence the name of the series, "The New Breed." It has grown in number and is the Division from which LAPD'S Special Weapons and Tactical Team (SWAT) was formed and remains to this day .Leslie Nielson was outstanding as Lt. Price Adams. He had given a preview of his acting ability a few years earlier in the 1956 original production of "Ransom", in which he played reporter Charlie Telfer.
sol-23 Back in 1961 this short-lived program was my favorite show on television. It was very similar to The Untouchables as far as story lines go, and in fact it was certainly a knock-off of the The Untouchables, which was developed for ABC by Quinn Martin, and The New Breed was the first series Quinn Martin developed on his own after he left ABC.For some reason The New Breed was easier for an 11 year old child to follow and understand than was The Untouchables.Leslie Nielsen was a great cop, and he played it seriously, totally unlike his slapstick Naked Gun and Police Academy movies. Back in those days Leslie Nielsen was a serious actor. John Beradino co-starred, right before he began his long run on General Hospital.No one seems to remember this show but me.
