21 Jump Street - The Complete First Season (1987) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very excited that they released 21 Jump Street on DVD. It was a launching point for many careers and provided entertaining moral lessons. So I go to play the first show and within the first 15-20 minutes I notice something. They redid the music. Maybe it was just a couple of songs. Nope, it was pretty much all of them. And it was done in such a way that it was obnoxious and often detracted from the stories. I had a VERY hard time watching the remainder of the season because the the remastering was done so poorly.
21 Jump Street was that really cool hip show that had some of the latest music of the time. And whether it was record companies wanting to charge for using their music or someone deciding that the music needed to be less "dated" ... whatever the reason, they made a bad choice.
I highly recommend that people rent this DVD before they buy it to make sure they are okay with it. I am not and will not purchase any more seasons until they put the original music/soundtracks back in.
Later Gators!

It all begins here, as baby-faced rookie Officer Tom Hanson (Johnny Depp) is assigned to an elite squad of young undercover cops - Judy Hoffs (Holly Robinson Peete), Doug Penhall (Peter DeLuise) and Harry Truman Ioki (Dustin Nguyen) - to infiltrate high schools and fight crime. Frederic Forrest and Steven Williams co-star in this classic first season thatalso features such guest stars as Jason Priestley, Josh Brolin, DavidPaymer, Sherilyn Fenn and Blair Underwood in what became Fox'sfirst runaway hit and remains one of the coolest cop showsin TV history! 21 JUMP STREET - SEASON ONE includes all 13 explosiveepisodes - including the rarely seen two-part premiere - and isnow packed with extras that include all-new interviews with starsHolly Robinson Peete, Dustin Nguyen, Steven Williams and series co- creator Stephen J.

21 Jump Street Season 5 (1987) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It should first be noted that Johnny Depp is not a member of the cast of 21 Jump Street during the 5th Season. He left the show after the 4th season. The show was then cancelled by Fox and was produced for one more season in syndication. The only reason Depp was included on the cover of this season set was because "Blackout", a 4th Season episode, was held back from the 4th Season DVD Set for this one. So be forewarned when buying this set that Depp appears in only one episode, and following that he and Dustin Nguyen leave the show, followed soon after by Peter DeLuise. Only Holly Robinson and Steven Williams remain from the original cast. Michael DeLuise joins the cast for a bit as Joey Penhall and Michael Bendetti joins the cast as Tony "Mac" McCann. The formula of the show largely remains the same, though the show's production values descrease with the move to syndication, and the cutting of the budget per episode. This was not a bad season, as per usual with this series, some storylines were weaker than others, but overall the season is entertaining, with Holly Robinson being the focus of most of the episodes, especially after Peter DeLuise and Michael DeLuise leave. However, again let me just repeat that Johnny Depp appears in only one episode and buyers of this set should know that, so there is no confusion on this matter.

Renegade: Complete Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"He was a cop and good at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops gone bad. Cops that tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands, an outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter--a RENEGADE". Do not hesitate to purchase RENEGADE--available on DVD in its entirety at long last from Mill Creek Entertainment! RENEGADE is creator Stephen J. Cannell's take on THE FUGITIVE--with a '90's twist! (Cannell was a long-time friend and creative collaborater with FUGITIVE creator Roy Huggins). RENEGADE aired for 5 seasons (1992-97) with 110 episodes produced.
