Movie Reviews of Adam-12 - Season One
Movie Review: What ever happened to Adam-12 Seasons 2-7 on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed watching the ADAM-12 series of TV in the 70's. It seemed to depict the real lives of a pair Los Angeles patrolman. Every episode was taken from the archives of the Los Angeles police files and was very well written, directed and produced. The quality of the show is proven by the interest that is still there for the show in the 21st century. The politeness, courtesy and respect that both Reed and Malloy treated the people that they came into contact with while being called pigs, storm troopers and even much worse is something that shows the true character of a dedicated law enforcement officer- someone that believed "To Protect and To Serve" really meant something. They were true law enforcement officers. It is sad that city and town officials of today have reduced many in this once noble profession into the revenue generating ticket writing robots that we see today.Movie Review: Safe to Buy Now - Manufacturing Defect Fixed!
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I'm a diehard Adam 12 fan I initially rated Season One a 1 Star because of a manufacturing defect which prevented you from playing all but the first 4 episodes on each side of each disk. I'm changing the rating to a 5 star now because it's been fixed. I just repurchased the set after it had been temporarily pulled and wante dto pass along that Season One plays just fine now and is safe to buy.
When they were fixing the defect it's too bad they didn't also make this a 4 disk set like the other seasons though. For some reason the Season 1 packaging is still really awkward and clunky with two 2 sided-disks in a real fat cases that are twice the thickness of the other seasons.
But the main point is a great show, the disks play just fine now, and I'm glad to have it.
I'm now anxiously awaiting seasons 6 and 7 to be released.
Movie Review: GREAT SET - WHERE IS SEASON 2?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Adam-12 at it's best! The color is absolutely fantastic! The episodes are great. It is my favorite DVD collection.
My only complaint is the menu system. Whoever designed it was trying to be clever and fell terribly short! All of the episodes are tagged as "Log's". (Log 73, Log 109, Log 35, etc.) When searching for a certain episode, it is frustrating. "Oh yah, Log 73...That's the one I'm looking for!"
My concern is that Universal is not going to release any of the additional Adam-12 sets. I think that if a company decides to release a DVD series, they should commit to the entire project up front. (All or nothing!)
WE WANT SEASON 2.....PLEASE!!!
Movie Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just picked up my copy, along with Emergency! Season One as I purchased both from Amazon. Have not noticed any disc errors as of yet, though only watched 2 episodes right here on the PC, have yet to view on stand-alone DVD player. Anyway, the picture is near-perfect. Adam-12 was without a doubt my favorite television program growing up, and hopefully the follow-up seasons of these programs will be released sooner than later!
UPDATE-----
I have now watched entire first disc, with ZERO skipping, freezes, etc., on my regular TV using a mid-level DVD player (Emerson), and I am still VERY HAPPY with this purchase! No "special features", no biggie!
Movie Review: Finally On DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am glad ADAM-12 is finally out on DVD! It is hard to find it in reruns so this may be the only way die-hard fans can continue to watch the series.
I know there have been some complaints about extras but I doubt this show will sell as many copies as M*A*S*H or the Dick Van Dyke show so they probably can't justify the extras. As far as the disc skipping and freezing up - no problems here. I have Kojak, Dragnet, Emergency and Adam 12 and all play great on my Toshiba dvd player. The same 3 or 4 people complain about the skipping for every Universal release. They never list the equipment they are using so it may not be the discs that are the problem.
