Even if The Evidence were the first show of its kind, it would still be mediocre.
By Robert Bianco FULL REVIEW

In the pilot tonight, one of the clues has nothing to do with the murder, and that hardly seems fair, though "fair" in another sense might be the best way to describe The Evidence. Unless you want to go for "poor."

It demonstrates how a show can be a run-of-the-mill cop drama despite a talented cast and a few interesting twists.

This basically feels like the fifth best cop drama of the 1978 TV season.
