| | | They're Keeping the Streets Safe!
Features: DVD
San Francisco, city by the bay. Home of cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge...and murder! The acclaimed police drama The Streets of San Francisco follows the cases of detective Lt. Mike Stone (Academy Award winner Karl Malden, A Streetcar Named Desire), a 23-year veteran of the San Francisco Police Department, and his young partner, Inspector Steve Keller (Academy Award winner Michael Douglas, Wall Street). The smooth, handsome Keller is the perfect foil for the gruff, trenchcoat-wearing Stone. Yet what they have in common is they both have no patience for criminals! Includes Season One's first 16 episodes.

"[Malden is] perfect as the veteran cop...seeing Michael Douglas in the beginning of his career is wonderful...watching them together is magic." Jon Jordan, Crimespree Cinema
"...holds up because it's anchored by two charismatic leads...and, in many ways, remains a great time capsule to '70s America." Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-In.com
"...Malden and Douglas make an interesting pair...fans of '70s cop shows-and San Francisco scenery-may want to give these streets a spin." Jude Clement, TVDVDReviews.com
"...[Malden and] Douglas have a nice, laid-back chemistry...Together, they're unstoppable and incredibly watchable." Rachel Kipp, PopMatters
Editor's Note
While it never achieved the success of such better-known shows as KOJAK or STARSKY & HUTCH, the Quinn Martin-produced THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO remains one of the highlights of the 1970s television crime-drama boom. The action-packed series also made a star of the then up-and-coming actor Michael Douglas, who, along with Karl Malden, anchored the cast as a father-and-son-like duo of crime-fighting San Francisco police detectives, 20-year veteran Mike Stone (Malden) and his eager rookie partner, Steve Keller (Douglas). Filmed on location in the city by the bay, the series distinguished itself with great acting, intricate storylines, inventive opening credits, and an indelible theme song. This collection presents the first half of the series' debut season.

4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he series is full of big guest stars....[With] up-and-coming TV star Michael Douglas..." 05/01/2007 p.110FulvueDrive-In.com 8 of 10
Along with Kojak, The Streets of San Francisco (1972-1977) was one of the best of the countless one-hour, formulaic TV police dramas to air on network television during the 1970s. It's also one of the better productions of Quinn Martin, the prolific producer of such '60s and '70s shows as The F.B.I., The Fugitive, Dan August, Barnaby Jones and Cannon...As with other Quinn Martin shows, a deep-voiced announcer always said the names of the stars, guest stars and the episode aloud as the names simultaneously appeared on-screen during the opening credits -- something hilariously spoofed a decade later in Police Squad...[The Streets of San Francisco] holds up because it's anchored by two charismatic leads, written with some degree of intelligence, features beautiful on-location filming in the Bay Area and, in many ways, remains a great time capsule to '70s America. - Chuck O'Leary
