DVD Reviews of The Streets of San Francisco: Season Two, Vol. 2
DVD Review: Good series, with a lot of terrible acting
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not referring to either Karl Malden or Michael Douglas, but oh gawd the rest of the cast(s) were absolutely atrocious. I was always an avid fan of this series and of the reruns. The big difference in crime dramas like this from the "olden days" and those of today is the "evolution" of good acting from guest stars and extras. So many of the episodes in this series had laughable police procedures and acting from fellow officers and guest stars. Compared to series like Law and Order, The Shield, CSI, NCIS, Southland and even The Closer, this series would be close to the bottom of the barrel; as far as acting is concerned.
Some prime BAD examples: (1) Cops draw their guns with their fingers on the trigger, instead of outside the trigger guard; even if there's another cop directly in front of them. (2) When they shoot a suspect, they run to him/her and take the gun and hold the wound with one hand, while the gun is still on the other; no handcuffing suspects even after they're shot (and a known killer). (3) The comical way they answer radio calls, as if they're talking to one another in the office. (4) One of my favorites - shooting door locks; not expecting anyone to be behind the door (especially an innocent); or ricochet's. (5) Arriving at a gun battle and just joining in by opening up on buildings where the bad guy(s) are holed up and not worrying about civilians in the adjoining houses or apartments. (6) And of course, the greatest of all - the warning shot into the air - no worries about where that bullet is going to land when it comes down (people do get killed that way). Those are some of the reasons I can't give it 5 Stars.
I no longer see this show as a truly serious crime drama. Very few episodes were touching or "tear-jerkers" unlike a lot of today's shows. But I still enjoy it most because of the locations where I've been and where I've lived in either 'The City" or Daly City.
DVD Review: Streets of gold
Summary: 5 Stars
Streets of San Francisco was the best cop show ever on television. The dvds are of very good quality, both visually and the soundtrack. I was a fan of the orginal show, so it is most delightful to see the programs again.
If you are a fan of police shows, get this one! It is the best.
My wife and I love the location filming in and around San Francisco.
DVD Review: How about those old episodes of The Streets of SF in black and white?
Summary: 5 Stars
I too am a fan of the Streets of San Francisco, my favorite city, and I know that there are some older epidodes of this series in black and white. I have the first and second seasons in color, but would love to get those older ones in black and white too, before Michael Douglas came into the picture. Not that I don't like him, I just would like to see the older episodes as well. I remember seeing them on TV. I like that special quality that black and white films have. DVD Review: Ron W.
Summary: 5 Stars
"Streets of San Francisco" series has great story lines, believable characters, and lesson in each episode. And all without the bloody gory mess we see on the present detective shows. Too bad it only lasted a few seasons.DVD Review: 'REPEATED VIEWING PROVES THAT THIS COP SHOW WAS ONE OF THE BEST!!!"

Description of The Streets of San Francisco: Season Two, Vol. 2
Genre: Television: Series
Rating: NR
Release Date: 11-NOV-2008
Media Type: DVD
By the end of The Streets of San Francisco's sophomore season, the relationship between veteran cop Mike Stone (Karl Malden) and hotshot rookie Steve Keller (Michael Douglas) has deepened, with none of the generational tension that underscored Season One. They are partners and genuine friends (Stone still calls Keller "buddy boy," and Keller needles Mike about only reading the sports pages), but Stone still has much to teach him. In the episode, "Rampage," Keller discovers that a former Berkley classmate might by one of a group of neighborhood vigilantes. He may have mellowed towards Keller, but he's still the old hardnosed Mike Stone while questioning suspects. In "Death and the Favored Few," he stands up to a socially connected blue blood who knows more than she's telling about a sleazy, scandal sheet publisher's murder. In "A String of Puppets" (one of two episodes directed by Richard Donner), Stone suspects that the best parole officer in the whole department is the ringleader of a gang of thieves. "You're way off on this one," a colleague protests. (He's not.) Streets is a by the book police procedural; nothing flashy. Some cases unfold like mysteries, others clue viewers in as to who the culprit is, and still others hit close to home, as witness "Commitment," in which Stone is framed for the murder of an undercover cop. A fortuitous partering of old and new Hollywood, Malden and Douglas are able to carry this series without backup, although some stellar guest stars work the Streets in these episodes, including Nick Nolte, Leslie Nielsen, Charles Martin Smith (Toad in American Graffiti), Claude Akins, and dynamite entertainer Lola Falana. --Donald Liebenson
