3.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT SERIES DISGRACEFUL MARKETING TACTICS, July 13, 2008

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

You cannot fault the series itself, I love it and am so glad to be re-visiting "Streets".
I think I will have to reconsider buying anymore volumes due to the disgraceful tactis used by the studio to sell the dvds. I could not believe that Season TWO Volume ONE has only ELEVEN episodes. Why the volumes one and two when there are so few episodes in the season.
For goodness sake increase the price by 10.00 and sell it as a complete season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Drama Continues, March 28, 2008

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

I recently finished watching the entire first season of THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO and the episodes were even better than I remembered them. Karl Malden and Michael Douglas work wonderfully together and every story has the mark of a high-quality production, with beautiful location scenery and top-notch guest stars.
As with HAWAII FIVE-O, the second season of STREETS isn't quite up to the level of the first year, but there are still quite a number of outstanding episodes. Highlights include HAREM, where former teen idol Rick Nelson plays a boyish pimp who lures teenage girls into prostitution; A WRONGFUL DEATH, in which Inspector Keller is accused of shooting an unarmed youth; and BETRAYED, featuring Martin Sheen as an ambitious businessman who uses every tool he can think of -including robbery and murder- while climbing the ladder of success.
Looking ahead, the good news is that the best is yet to come: the third season of THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO is the finest year of all. Meanwhile, don't pass up this latest collection of exciting police stories in The City By The Bay. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great looking series, July 6, 2008

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

In Karl Malden's autobiography, he wrote that the series really started to click with season 2. In season 1, they did the indoor scenes back in LA and the outdoor scenes in the city by the bay--they were always tired from all the flying! In season 2, they did all the shooting in San Francisco.

One thing I like about season 2 is that the detective duo is getting more screen time. In season 1, the show was such a showcase for the guest stars, that Stone and Keller actually seemed absent from much of the show. There's better balance in season 2. There are still more scenes with guest stars only than in a modern show, but we get to see a lot more of the great partnership then we did previously.

The stories are fairly routine for the 1970s, but this is just such a great looking show. Malden and Douglas are great together, the acting is excellent, and the city looks fantastic. The long tracking shots of two actors talking while walking through the streets of San Francisco with no cuts are a real hallmark of this series.
