Yes, TV has come a long way and The Streets of San Francisco looks nothing like The Wire but it fulfills every qualification needed to enjoy a show. Malden and Dougles are one of the best TV teams in the industry.

I recommend this series for anyone who liked the Streets of San Francisco. I have Season 1 but i like Season 2 better. Once it arrived, i stayed glued to the tv, watching show after show. Karl Malden and Michael Douglas worked great together. I have been a fan of Michael Douglas's since i use to watch this show. I saw his star quality back then, before he got famous...

I am a San Francisco, Karl Malden, Michael Douglas fan and I watched these at home when they first aired back in the early seventies. I appear in one of the episodes for about three seconds in a crowd scene so I am personally attached. That one has not been released yet so I am waiting for it. I just got lucky the first day I ever set foot in San Francisco. Amazing.

Yes, some of the stories and some of the the lighting are a bit, "early seventies" but I want to have every one of these. And if you like old cars, every car on the street is a classic. I love seeing (and mapping) the San Francisco scenes. I hope that of all the remaing seasons are released soon. Keep 'em coming TvBoxset!

During the second act of the first episode it happens...that 2-minute or more long tracking shot of the partners striding through headquarters shot from the waist up with no cuts, both men acting with their posture, their arms, their stride, their faces, their voices--the whole thing. It's my favorite thing about this old show. There are enough interesting angles and shots to make the direction interesting much of the time, and then there's a scene like this in almost every episode where the actors spout a few pages of dialog and just act for all they are worth with no close-ups or pauses or quick cuts. It's such a refreshing change from modern shows. San Francisco is a glorious backdrop, and Malden and Douglas are great together. The stories are 50 minutes long and develop slowly. What wonderful change of pace!

Here are the episodes with a few guest stars and directors noted:
The Runaways--3 kids trying to stay together (Larry Wilcox, Jeanette Nolan)
Winterkill--bombs and blackmail
Most Feared in the Jungle--woman doesn't believe baby was stillborn
Commitment--Stone's daughter visits, always a good ep (Tyne Daly)
Chapel of the Damned--kidnapping and psychics
Blockade--rape and murder (Cheryl Ladd, Ida Lupino, Charles Martin Smith)
Crossfire--a sniper (Nick Nolte)
A String of Puppets--Steve goes undercover (dir by Richard Donner)
Inferno--arson, of course!
The Hard Breed--rodeo murder (Harry Carey, Jr.)
Rampage--vigilantes, always a 70s favorite! (Ron Glass)
Death and the Favored Few--blackmail
