Movie Reviews of The Streets of San Francisco - Season 1, Vol. 2

Movie Review: one of the greatest tv crime shows ever
Summary: 5 Stars

This series is one of the greatest tv crime shows of all time.
It just looks fantastic and was filmed on location in san fransisco, this is something that other tv shows should do more often. Los angelos just doesn't look like san fran at all. The stories and guest stars throughout the series run were always first class and the series looks great on this dvd set There are no lines or blemishes on the prints. The splitting of the series into two boxsets is bogus but at least we finally get this one on dvd. Karl Malden and Michael Douglas really shine in this show and even season 5 which featured another actor as the Maldens partner was great. This is where the series began and it is a great show from the start , the series improved each season and made Michael Douglas a major star. The music also adds to the shows greatness unlike todays terrible machine made hip hop music this is original stuff made by real artists. Anyone who loves a good cop show should check out this series it's high quality and done very well.

Summary of The Streets of San Francisco - Season 1, Vol. 2

No Description Available.
Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 25-SEP-2007
Media Type: DVD

These 13 chronological episodes that concluded season 1 were just the ticket to launching one of the 1970s' most arresting cop shows. The first season of The Streets of San Francisco was nominated for an Emmy for Best Drama Series and its stars, Karl Malden and Michael Douglas, were nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively. But as this inaugural season unfolded, the veteran cop/rookie cop dynamic that charged the first 14 episodes matured into a more paternal mentor/student relationship (Malden's Mike Stone refers to Douglas's Steve Keller, throughout as "the boy" and "buddy-boy"). These episodes are particularly engrossing, and provide Malden with some of his finest primetime hours. In "Trail of the Serpent," a street gang bent on freeing their captured leader takes Stone hostage. Stone plays it cool, appealing to the humanity of one of the more sensitive gang members, while the more hotheaded Keller almost jeopardizes his rescue. In "Legion of the Lost," Stone goes undercover on skid row to investigate the murders of three homeless men. In two episodes, Stone does not allow personal relationships to compromise his sense of duty. In "Deadline," a newspaper editor tries to cover up the murder of his mistress, and in the process, unwittingly implicates his own son, who was also the victim's lover. In "Shattered Image," a woman from Stone's old neighborhood is now the socialite wife of a murdered senatorial candidate. "Beyond Vengeance" echoes Cape Fear as a vengeful sociopath, freed on parole, seems to be stalking Stone's daughter.

Malden and Douglas are a terrific team, and they are aided and abetted by literate scripts ("Room with a View" alludes to Hemingway's story "The Killers"), with clever twists. In "The Albatross," a killer is freed when it turns out he wasn't wearing his hearing aid and did not hear Keller when he read him his rights. In the Emmy-nominated "The House on Hyde Street," an elderly recluse becomes the prime neighborhood suspect in the death of a young boy. Guest stars in these episodes read like a Hollywood's Most Wanted List, with veteran character actors (Joseph Cotten, Jack Albertson, Leslie Nielsen, Barbara Rush) and future TV Land favorites (Victor French from Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven, a pre-Cheers Nicholas "Coach" Colasanto, Jamie Farr, and Clint Howard). Of course, the real star is San Francisco, an intriguing backdrop with its roller coaster hills and funky neighborhoods. For series fans who left their hearts here, Streets still calls to you. --Donald Liebenson
