Product Description

Product Description

For the first time ever, the complete series of Steven Bochco& landmark drama Hill Street Blues has arrived on DVD. Originally broadcast on NBC from 1981 to 1987, these 144 episodes represent compelling and groundbreaking television at its finest.


’Let s be careful out there, ’ advises Sgt. Esterhaus every morning at roll call. And as the officers and detectives at the Hill Street station house patrol their city’s streets, they must indeed maintain a careful balance between serving their citizens and inciting hostility from criminal elements. Yet as dangerous as their precinct is, the men and women of Hill Street often find that their biggest battles involve protecting themselves from the Public Defender’s office, self-serving bureaucrats and each other.


An incredible ensemble cast (including Daniel J. Travanti, Veronica Hamel, Bruce Weitz, Dennis Franz and Betty Thomas) and sharp, layered writing helped make Hill Street Blues the most acclaimed and influential series of its day. The winner of 26 Emmy Awards (including four for Outstanding Drama Series) and a mainstay on any roll call of the greatest television shows of all time, Hill Street Blues: The Complete Series is unquestionably a must-have for any fan of engrossing and classic television.

Review

Hill Street Blues transcends its era to remain tremendous TV… Watching the entire series on DVD, available in this form for the first time, its amazing just how easy it is to get lost all over again in the world of the Hill, all of the ways that the show invites viewers to consider its universe of complexity and class struggle, complication, and compassion… Its in the cast of incredible characters that the show continues to resonate to this day. --Todd VanDerWerff, The AV Club

I loved this series in the 80s, especially since Furillo completely matched my Dad's integrity as he was also in a stressful job dealing with political idiots and opportunists and didn't stand for people doing the wrong thing but at the same time he was compassionate and respected by everyone.
The quality is quite good, the same as the original Fox release of Seasons 1 and 2 and the iTunes 1-3. There are one or two episodes in the final season that have a warning at the front that says 'mastered from the best available sources' however the quality on a 92 inch projection screen was very good, probably just ever so slightly less definition than the other episodes with the slightest ghosting on the edge of the pillar box.
On a 40-50 inch plasma or LCD I doubt you'd notice the difference. For some reason though, the same as broadcast episodes the opening titles in Season 6 look as though they used a really old version of the film stock, don't know why, perhaps there was a reason for it at the time but I remember it having a very slightly different tone in the opening music during one of the seasons when I watched it in 1986 and that must have been it - perhaps only a couple of seasons before the end they were looking to re-use some bits that no one would necessarily notice and it's probably only noticeable now because of the HD capability of modern equipment. I watched the entire series again as alluded to above on a 92 inch screen from a Marantz DV9500 DVD Player (top of the range at the time of purchase and upscaling to 720p), the projector is 1080p and I thought it was fine - only comment would be it's obviously from whatever studio masters they had access to and unlike internet downloads there are NO scenes missing, all complete.
All in all a fantastic package.
I remember LOTS of Entertainment Tonight segments and spots on HSB when it was on the air, pity they couldn't get hold of that old footage for special features but what there is are very good.
I am rapt with this, been waiting since the 90s for this and thanks to Shout Factory for doing it, brickbats to Fox for being useless curmudgeons and not remastering it for Bluray, it certainly deserves it considering its place as a paradigm shifting series in TV history. It holds up extremely well today because it pioneered everything used in current quality TV - ensemble cast, handheld camera work, gritty realism (the police cars were beaten up and dirty unlike any police show before it), going from one moment of laughter or reflection to gunshots going off and death unexpectedly. I remember how shocking that was in 1981-87 and how at the time it was 'West Wing-like' and totally the most intelligent, most exceptionally well written and produced show on TV. The scripts were required reading in classes at Universities.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!!!!!!!!!!

It's just after one on a Thursday morning. In a turn of events that fairly can be called miraculous, with Amazon's help I have discovered that the entire "Hill Street Blues" series is about to be released on DVD. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By orders of magnitude, Hill Street is my favorite television series of all time. I remember my experience of the first season, each week doing anything necessary to be home by the new episode's beginning. More, I remember the tears I cried during a large number of that season's episodes. Never before and not since have I been so emotionally invested in a television series.

Brilliant writing. Inspired casting. Evocative performances. Hill Street depicts a gritty, broken, chaotic, but relentlessly human world. This is a cop show whose central question is not whodunit? but wholivedit? and howwegoingtomakeit?

I purchased seasons one and two on DVD upon their release - seemingly forever ago - with the expectation that the rest of the series would follow. After all, I reasoned, they released "Gilligan's Island" in full, SURELY they would do the same for Hill Street! But no. For some reason Fox stopped production after the second season, leaving fans such as I to lament. Praise to all involved in Shout's acquisition of the rights to the series.

After a wait of WAY too many years - a wait during which I watched only a couple of episodes from the season one DVD collection and none of the 144 episodes I had recorded on VHS from WGN's airing of the show back in the 90's - with giddy but passionate satisfaction I have pre-ordered this series. If you follow my lead, you won't be disappointed.

EDIT (5/18/14)
We have watched the first several episodes of season one, enough exposure to this collection to add an "Amen!" to my previous comments.

1) The transition to DVD is superb, resulting in outstanding video quality, even when expanding the native 4x3 image to a 16x9 orientation (though I detected two or three very brief instances - perhaps a half second each - of color loss in in portions of the screen in one of the episodes; absolutely nothing to raise a fuss over, however).

2) The audio is excellent. I especially love that the Shout productions uses the entire Hill Street theme song as accompaniment for the main menu screen; so many DVD producers use edited, often mangled versions of the content's theme music for such a purpose.

3) And the heart- and mind-grabbing dialogue between characters you care about remains wondrously intact. Funny, tragic, thoughtful, irreverent, provocative, silly -- and sometimes, you get all that before the opening credits roll!

All due respect to television's modern creative community, but Hill Street Blues stands alone.

Buy this set.
