|  | Outstanding police procedural drama - great cast and locations |  |
Streets of San Francisco was superior to most Quinn Martin detective shows, in part because of the great chemistry between its lead characters but also because a detective and sidekick always works better dramatically: the team of Holmes and Watson always worked better than solo detectives Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple, for example. But far more mysterious than any of the Quinn Martin plot lines is why these outstanding TV shows have taken so long to be released on video. In 1998 a handful of episodes were released only on VHS, even when that format had clearly been displaced by DVD. And presumably the manufacturing cost of DVD is a fraction of VHS duplication, so this further adds to the mystery. Even so, those VHS tapes were a vast improvement over the fuzzy, grainy, cut-for-more-commercial-time versions on TV rerun channels. But this DVD set is better still. The colors are bright and the titles are razor sharp. It probably didn't look this good on first-run network TV. The cover art says "some episodes may be edited from their original network versions," but I can see scenes that have been missing from reruns for many decades. There are no DVD extras but there are English/Spanish Subtitles and a Spanish audio track. With only 4 discs, (on the Volume 1-2 set) and a list price of $80, the collection is grossly overpriced when more contemporary shows cost a half or a third that price, and almost always include some value-added content. But if you're a SSF fan, it may well be worth the premium price.
July 1, 2008it is so good to see this wonderful TV series coming to DVD - I am impatient to see the entire series released. Amazon, as always, sent it quickly and efficiently and I had a lovely weekend revisiting one of my all time favourite old TV shows.
