Shout factory has done a fantastic job in their releases of Seasons 2 and 3 of Adam 12 (Universal did season 1). The picture quality is crisp, sharp, clear and with excellent color - no fading or worn picture. The audio is clear. Packaging consists of a nice outer box with two slim plastic holders containing 2 DVD's each. The DVD's are one sided. There have been some nice additional features that Shout has put together for the releases.

This is one of my favorite police dramas of all time. It gives a nice glimpse into the police work of the very late 60's and the first half of the 70's). This season marks a newer looking police car for Reed and Maloy (not a big deal - just an observation). They switch from a 1968/69 Plymouth Belvedere to a 1971 Plymouth Satellite. The final three seasons (seasons 5-7) saw a third car, an AMC Matador. As always, expect high moral values and integrity from these police officers (something that marked each of Jack Webb's biggest hits - Dragnet, Adam-12 and Emergency!).

A great show to watch as a family.

"this is an all-time favorite "police drama", especially among fans who(like myself) watched this show as a kid, & we saw the men in blue, as we would like them to be.today's "cop shows" are major disapointments; these shows did'nt have 12 or 13 sub-plots, just 30 mins. of dramatic entertainment at it's best!"

This show is a gem. I've enjoyed every season, including season 1, although the quality before Shout took over production left something to be desired. The chemistry between the two leads is very believable and while it did come out of Jack Webb's factory (just the facts) you really feel like you know what makes Malloy and Reed tick. It's like finding a wonderful time capsule that spotlights late '60s/early '70s Los Angeles. I remember loving this show as a kid so when it came out on DVD I've waited for each release. If you're a fan of classic TV you will not be disappointed. There are also quite a few guest appearances by faces you will no doubt recognize. Keep 'em coming!

I love all vintage tv...this show is one of my favorites. Good price and fast shipment. Thanks, God Bless

If you like Adam-12, you're sure to enjoy this latest release.
Reed and Malloy are out on patrol again, encountering all sorts of nefarious evil doers and weirdos.
Creepy Gary Crosby appears in several episodes as the obnoxious Officer Wells.
This set comes in a box with 2 plastic holders containing 2 single-sided DVDs each.
The video and audio quality is excellent.
SHOUT! is doing a great job with its releases of this great cop series.

Another great season by Adam-12. In this season, Pete Malloy finally gets his stripes and is a Police Officer III+I. If you are a fan of police drama, specially of good cops doing real police work, then this and all of Adam-12 series is for you.

I found Season 4 to be my least favorite of the 4 available seasons on DVD. At least two of the scenarios would have actually been handled by the detective bureau and not uniform patrol officers. This is still the all time best police fact-based drama to ever be on television. The use of General Motors products as bad guy vehicles 90+ percent of the time is a bit much. Newer style 1971 Chrysler products as patrol vehicles and a new opening scene is refreshing. Malloy has been promoted to Officer 3 starting in scene one. He deserves the new pay grade. All in all it is a must to have in a seven season collection.

My daughter and I love Adam-12. I watched it as a child and now she loves the show. We have the first four seasons which are all great. I had purchased a so-called complete series DVD set but that turned out to be a bunch of over the air recordings which had bad sound and some commericials. This is the real deal. Original TV quality. Just wish they'd release the other seasons for us to buy.

I have purchased every Adam 12 season available, with season 4 being the latest. I am looking forward to future seasons, and will purchase them when they become available. This is a very good police series with a great cast.

My wife and I both love this show. Seeing it again on DVD is great. Brings back great memories.
