Editorial Reviews

While it never achieved the success of such better-known shows as KOJAK or STARSKY & HUTCH the Quinn Martin-produced THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO remains one of the highlights of the 1970s television crime-drama boom. The action-packed series also made a star of the then up-and-coming actor Michael Douglas who along with Karl Malden anchored the cast as a father-and-son-like duo of crime-fighting San Francisco police detectives 20-year veteran Mike Stone (Malden) and his eager rookie partner Steve Keller (Douglas). Filmed on location in the city by the bay the series distinguished itself with great acting intricate storylines inventive opening credits and an indelible theme song. This collection presents the series' debut season in its entirety.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097361310947 Manufacturer No: 131094

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome series!, July 23, 2007

This review is from: The Streets of San Francisco - Season 1, Vol. 2 (DVD)

Although I always swore that I wouldn't buy the second of any seasons that the powers that be split in two, I'm making an exception here. Volume I was fantastic and left me hungry for more. The locations are fantastic, the relationship between the leads and the chemistry between the actors is great, and though some of the episodes plod a bit--most of them are pretty tense and thrilling. The look of the series is just gorgeous, most of the directing is top notch, and it's fun to watch.

Here's an episode list:
Death Watch (Fishermen as witnesses to a crime--San Francisco!)
Act of Duty (Policewoman as bait in rape case)
The Set-Up (common 70's plot--hitmen)
A Collection of Eagles (a coin collecting episode!)
A Room with a View (witnesses and hitmen)
Deadline (involves a newspaper--duh!)
Trail of the Serpent (Stone is held hostage)
The House on Hyde Street (a boy disappears after school)
Beyond Vengeance (an ex-con is after Stone)
The Albatross (grieving father as vigilante)
Shattered Image (politics, of course--love these titles!)
The Unicorn (a common 70's plot: priest shielding a criminal)
Legion of the Lost (killer of homeless men--another great title)

Some guest stars: Brenda Vaccaro, James B. Sikking, Stuart Whitman, Jack Albertson, John Saxon, Belinda Montgomery, Jamie Farr, Richard Anderson, Shirley Knight, Brad Davis, Lew Ayres, Joyce Van Patten, Joe Don Baker, Dick Sargent, Leslie Nielsen, and Dean Stockwell.

I'm looking forward to the coin episode--there's a great coin episode in the Kojak set, too--"Deliver Us Some Evil." That was one of the best eps of season one of Kojak.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Series Paramount is Taking its Time, September 24, 2007

This review is from: The Streets of San Francisco - Season 1, Vol. 2 (DVD)

That is on releasing the series in a decent manner. WE are finally get the second volume of the first season and Paramount should have just released the First Season in one season set... instead this is costing fans a lot of money to collect. In a way I don't mind as long as all the seasons get released. I don't want them to delay and cancel future releases because they say there are poor sales because that would be the studios fault for a higher price tag for a half a season. It is a really good series and I'm speaking from a younger generation. Only 29 here.

This review is from: The Streets of San Francisco - Season 1, Vol. 2 (DVD)

Can't wait until tuesday for the second half of Season one of Streets of San francisco, growing up during the 80's here in the San Francisco Bay Area i recall that the old KOFY TV 20 would show reruns during the day along with other great shows but streets was something always something to look forward to. Their was another tv show that was a predate to Streets of San Francisco it ran from 1954-1960 it was San Francisco Beat/The Line-up. With alot of old tv shows coming to dvd hopefully San Francisco Beat will be next up for dvd with Highway Patrol with Broadrick Crawford.
