Great Series
Quality is great, but it is Region 1 so needs a compatible dvd player. Watched it as a kid but can't remember much other than I enjoyed it!

Excellent TV Series
I had the First season on DVD and enjoyed it very much, so decided to buy the complete series. The way the discs are stacked in one box sometimes makes it difficult to find the one you want. Would have preferred individual boxes for each season like on the Rockford files DVD Collection. But overall Very pleased.

DVDs work fine on a multi-region player. Happy with it.
A smallish box, and every D VD covering five seasons is in it, which means they're stacked in piles of four throughout, which doesn't offer the best way to move between them. That said, good value for money and my son loves it.

Best crime drama series
This is my favorite crime drama ever. Karl Malden's character is gruff, but perfectly set for the context. Michael Douglas has an incredible ability to convey the subtlest of feelings, emotions, and attitudes. No wonder he left the series to star in more lucrative movies. The plots are not only complex, but unpredictable, which makes for more suspense. Other TV series from the same producer (Quinn Martin) are, Cannon, The Fugitive, The Invaders, and The Untouchables.

Classic TV series
Was great to watch a TV show I grew up on but the way they come packed is not good so many discs on top of one another must be a better way

Word on the Street.. It’s Still Good After Nearly 50 Years
The Streets of San Francisco ran from 1972-1977, and the word on the street is it’s still solid nearly 50 years later. I grew up watching this television show in the ‘70s, and after revisiting the series now, I personally feel the series still holds up. It comes down to originality, style, storyline, and casting, and TSOSF had it all. Fresh off the heels of the blockbuster Dirty Harry franchise, Dirty Harry in 1971 was a gamechanger in the detective genre and San Francisco remained an intriguing backdrop in both cinema and television during that period of time. The unsolved mystery of the Zodiac Killer left an indelible mark on the beautiful and noirish Golden Gate City, and we all became armchair detectives.The Pilot for Streets of San Francisco, which is included in this complete series, is an excellent script that was based on the book Poor, Poor Ophelia by Carolyn Weston (another recommended read). Great payoff and not predictable even by today’s standards. The Gregory Praxis character was masterfully played by Lawrence Dobkin. I was reminded of what a great actor Karl Malden was in hindsight (what a face). Michael Douglas was solid right out of the starting gate (and Golden Gate).The Four Act Structure (I, II, III, IV, and Epilogue) was a crime script formula that worked, offering twists and cliffhangers during commercial breaks. Top talent as guest stars also included not just top television, but also film stars like Nick Nolte, Robert Wager, Jack Albertson, Mark Hamill, and more. Sometimes the storylines are as much of a Whodunit as they are a Howcatchem (the inverted Columbo model).The opening theme song by Patrick Williams is hip as hell and on par with Mannix (by the great Lalo Schifrin), and the series music has a consistent swagger, swing, and funk. Love it!This set has a lot of crime “bang” for the buck and all the discs played well will no loss of production or transfer quality. The DVD discs are stacked like pancakes, but they were not damaged in the plastic clamshell case. The titles of each episode are printed on the discs.The Streets of San Francisco is still cool in my book and still one of the best crime shows of the ‘70s. Enjoy.
