Movie Reviews of Adam-12 - Season One
Movie Review: Most of these episodes are classics.
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up on this show. It made me want to be a police officer when growing up; of course my parents talked me out of it. There were some rather good performances in these episodes such as the second one which featured Cloris Leachman in a dramatic role as a strung out on acid mother who gave some to her children, and then there was the one where a guy takes a group of people hostage, and at the end of the arrest it sounds like he's mouthing off to Malloy, and he uses the "F" word, and then there's the episode where Reed murders a teenage sniper, and they're all here in this dvd series. I can't wait for Season #2 to come out.Movie Review: 10 - Hands Down
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up watching shows such as Adam-12, Dragnet, Emergency, and The Love Boat. Adam-12 was always one of my absolute favorites. Even though I have seen the episodes about 50 times each, I still find them exciting. Unfortunately, they do not make shows of this quality and type anymore. I wish they did. I also wish that they would finally come out with Season 2 of Adam-12. It's been years since the first season was released! Exactly how long are we supposed to wait for the shows we want to see? We have no trouble gaining access to the junk that's on television today, so why can't we get the quality shows we desire?Movie Review: Great Show - Poor Quality By The Studio
Summary: 5 Stars
The show is great: fast paced, good character building, good stories and good acting. The picture and sound quality is as good as it gets.
However, Universal is notorious for poor manufacturing standards. The other posted review warning about freezes and drop-outs is correct. It happened on my Dragnet set and, now, on this set. The way around it is to test each show (if you can't watch it, then use a timer). Keep exchanging defective sets for good ones. Eventually you will get a good set.
The other poor practice by Universal are the commercials that precede the shows. Makes them look cheap.
Movie Review: Finally Out on DVD!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm soooo happy that they finally put Adam-12 on DVD. I've always enjoyed watching this show growing up and having to record it late at night on TV Land just to enjoy the simplicity and "just the fact" kind of show that was expected from Jack Webb. As one reviewer stated, its nice to see some of the old locations that I remember growing up in the San Fernando Valley in the early 70's before growth changed the landscape and before Rodney King and Rampart scandel changed LAPD. You sure can't compare this show with the shows of today that depicts a dark and gritty side. I'm hoping I can get this for Christmas!!??!!Movie Review: Adam-12 DVD Is Well Worth The Wait
Summary: 5 Stars
OK. So I'm a nerd. I admit it. I love cop shows from the 60s and 70s. And Adam-12 is my favorite. The fact that one of the best birthday gifts I ever received was an autographed picture of Kent McCord and Martin Milner says a lot.
If you liked Adam-12 during its run on TV, you'll enjoy this DVD. From the opening with the information being fed through what looks like some ancient computer punchcard system to the always-cool theme music to just the episodes themselves, this is just an awesome DVD.
It was well worth the wait. I'm already looking forward to the release of Season 2.
