Message: <blockquote data-quote="bmasters9" data-source="post: 351164" data-attributes="member: 77">Quite true-- I have the whole run of The Streets of San Francisco on DVD, while only having 9 seasons' worth (though not consecutive [the ones I have are the first eight, and then the final one, the twelfth one from 1979-80]) of the Jack Lord Hawaii Five-O.The reason I say that is because for quite a while, Five-O would be something I would never miss on DVD (I would always be looking to get the latest release when it came out). When I got to around 2/3 of it (after season 8), I decided I didn't want any more, because I had heard that the series started going downhill (I did get that final one as a curiosity piece to see just how low it went by the end).OTOH, I got the all-in-one (complete series) on DVD of Streets, and it must have had that special something that had me in it for the long haul (even in the fifth and final go [1976-77] w/Hatch as Robbins), and I believe that it was the late, great Karl Malden as Lt. Mike Stone-- he and Michael Douglas (the latter as Insp. Steve Keller) had that uncanny ability to work together and get the job done through thick and thin (so much so that even when he had Richard Hatch, I still stayed with it, just because, to me, he was very much someone I would have wanted to work with if this was real life).</blockquote>
