The Rookies - The Complete First Season (DVD, 2007, 5-Disc Set)

I have not seen the Dvds yet...but I am a fan of the show and Hpe they release season 2, 3, 4.. I did note that the original Pilot, which was a 90 minute ABC TV movie of the week in 1972 is NOT included in the Dvd set which is unfortunate. On the other hand, if you wanted or did record this show yourself off of television you relaly MUSt buy the DVD set because the prints circulated on TV were either all (and I mean ALL)had the violence (fights, gunshots, blood) "removed" by the syndicator "viacom" and the show was virtually impossible to watch in reruns. TV LAND offered the first season and about half of thr second season (ONLY) in reruns RESTORED with the violence left intact escept the chopped out about 5 minutes of each episode for commercials. SO I defintely reccomend buying this DVD set. It was the FIRST important "modern" cop show, preceeding "Kojak" "Police Story" "Starsky & Hutch" and TJ HOOKER (in fact many TJ Hooker episodes re-used old scripts of The Rookies (produced by the same company--Spelling-Goldberg). So get this great old show!

Has been one of my all time favorite cop shows. After all these years the show is still great. Cops get to be good guys & they get to win. DVD is great. Fun to see how many "current" stars started out in small roles. Hopefully they will release the other seasons soon.

Brought back all the memories as soon as the opening theme started! I loved all the 70's cops shows. The Rookies was one of my favorites. My 5 year-old son and I watched them all together. He couldn't wait to watch the next one. Neither could I. I can't wait till then next seaon comes out. God help both of us if it takes years! Anyone who rates this video below excellent has either never experienced 70's TV series or forgot what they were like. They aren't like today's more realistic shows; they are a bit cheesy; but remember, alot's changed in the nearly 40 years since these came out originally, and for the time, these were the best thing going! ENJOY!

It was one of the best cop shows. It was a bgood show that helped launch the career of a very talented Kate Jackson. It is well worth it to get this dvd for my collection

The picture quality of this product is much better than the first time around. VCR's weren't available to most at this time so when the series went off air that was it if it wasn't picked up in sindication....this is a must buy for the fan of 70's police series. It really is more enjoyable the second time around. Loved it!!!!
