Traditional
Primary
The series primarily focuses on the practical aspects of crime investigation and law enforcement, emphasizing individual responsibility and the maintenance of order within the existing legal framework. It avoids explicit ideological promotion, balancing implicit support for the justice system with occasional explorations of social factors contributing to crime.
The movie features traditional casting with predominantly white male leads, consistent with television productions of its era. Its narrative frames traditional identities in a neutral to positive light, focusing on crime resolution without explicit DEI themes or critiques of traditional societal roles.
Secondary
The show, produced in the 1970s, included gay characters, but their portrayals often aligned with problematic stereotypes of the time. They were frequently depicted as criminals or victims, framing queer identity within narratives of danger, criminality, or tragedy without offering affirming or complex counter-narratives. This resulted in a net negative impact.
The 1973 episode 'The Twenty-Four Karet Plague' features Joanna, a 'transvestite' character who is a sympathetic witness to a murder. The lead detectives treat her with empathy and professionalism, focusing on her safety and testimony. While the terminology used reflects the era, the portrayal avoids mockery or villainization, presenting her as a vulnerable individual. The depiction is neither strongly affirming nor denigrating.
This 1970s police procedural primarily focuses on two male detectives and their investigations. Female characters typically appear as victims, witnesses, or suspects. The show does not feature scenes where female characters are depicted as victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
As an original television series from 1972, "The Streets of San Francisco" introduced its own characters without prior canonical or historical gender baselines. Therefore, no characters could have been gender-swapped from pre-existing source material.
As an original television series that premiered in 1972, "The Streets of San Francisco" introduced its characters for the first time. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous screen installment from which characters could have been race-swapped.
