(52 reviews) Hill Street Blues, Season 2Excellent! One of my favorite shows. I cannot wait for the next in the series to come out. February 13, 2008
One of the Best TV Shows
This Show was my favorite, I was looking forward for the release on DVD, this is THE FATHER of the COP's Shows. January 10, 2008
one of the best show ever made
Hill street Blues paved the way for shows like NYPD Blues (same executive producer). The different characters struggle both at work and in their private life. It depicts somewhat the reality of life in a dangerous neighborhood in the Chicago area, even though the name of the city is never mentionned. 25 years after it was first broadcast, it is always a great pleasure to watch this great show.

How can one of the best shows not be released?

One of the BEST programs ever made for television!
As of 2006, the first two seasons of the outstanding HILL STREET BLUES are available on DVD from Fox, which is releasing the MTM catalogue slowly (verrrrry slowly). If you have never seen the series, you are in for a treat! This is the show which redefined the police drama, and much of television drama in general. It was the first series to present police officers warts and all, and consistently won praise from officers all over the United States. It was also the first series to utilize multiple story arcs which would play out over several episodes, a technique which has been adopted to varying degrees by many, many series since. Outstanding writing from producer Steven Bochco, Michael Kozoll, Jeffrey Lewis, David Milch and others elevated HILL STREET BLUES to feature film quality, and kept it there with few falters for seven seasons. And what a cast! Daniel J. Travanti, Veronica Hamel, Bruce Weitz, Betty Thomas, Michael Warren, Taurean Blaque, Kiel Martin, Rene Enriquez, Charles Haid, James Sikking, Joe Spano and so many others, seasoned television veterans all, gave some of their finest in the service of HILL STREET BLUES. And, of course, one must not forget the late Michael Conrad as Sgt. Phillip Freemason Esterhaus, the Hill's resident father figure and confessor, the late Trinidad Silva as the gangleader Jesus Martinez, who offered depth and humor to what could have been a simple stereotype, and last but not least, Dennis Franz, who vaulted into the collective consciousness with the rule-bending yet absolutely mesmerizing Lt. Norman Buntz.
Both seasons are absolutely worth owning! I hope that Fox gets the remaining five out soon. Let's roll!
And, hey, be careful out there. . . November 27, 2007
