It may sound like a gimmick--The Greatest '70s Cop Shows is a compilation of first episodes from Starsky and Hutch, Police Woman, S.W.A.T., The Rookies, and Charlie's Angels--but this DVD anthology really opens one's eyes to the look and feel of dramatic television during the so-called Me Decade. Except for Angels, which never wavered from its self-mocking, glossy action/stiff exposition playbook, these cop-program debuts (four of them from Aaron Spelling) import much of their fluid camera movement, multiple points-of-view, and dynamic, often wordless storytelling from the era's rough-and-tumble action movies (e.g., The French Connection). Which is to say these shows may be dumb but not necessarily cheesy (except Angels' post-modern cheese). There is a lot to admire about the opening ambush in S.W.A.T.'s "The Killing Ground," the hard-boiled camaraderie of Police Woman's "The End Game," and especially the reckless physicality and ironic jokes of Starsky and Hutch's "Savage Sunday." --Tom Keogh

Charlie's Angels, SWAT, Starsky and Hutch, Rookies, Police Woman. One episode of each. SWAT STILL kicks rear! These are the best episodes of each series.

Prime example of 70's police dramas
Rating  (4)

I was excited when this offering arrived in the mail. I couldn't wait to watch it. I was surprised however to find I have grown up since I last watched these shows (when they were on the very first time). Shows I loved as a youngster didn't do it for me as an adult, and shows I had to sit through as a kid because my parents liked them were the ones I enjoyed most. All that aside, this was a very well produced product. I thought the quality was very good,both picture and sound. It may not have all the bells and whistles some people want in a DVD these days,but fills the bill if you want to see some of your favorite crime drama from back in the day.

lots of unintentional laughs to be found here . who wrote this dreck ? 50 year old tupperware moms ? spelling should be brought up for crimes against humanity . just about the only character with any truth is george stanford brown's officer from THE ROOKIES . i'd advise any prospective buyer to S.W.A.T this brick of cheese out of their shopping cart . i rejected this stuff (wholesale) at ten or so . BEWARE

I love the fact that they are putting out DVD's like this I grew up with all these shows and I love all of them and seeing David Soul (Hutch from Starsky and Hutch, He is Hot !!!!) in it is a plus also !!!!! Starsky and Hutch was my favorite show as a kid and I still love watching it. It is worth the money to buy it with all 5 shows they were some of the best shows on TV in the 70's.
