Description:
If your only memory of Hill Street Blues is its hit theme song or Sergeant Esterhaus’s warning, "let’s be careful out there," now is the time to take a closer look. Hill Street Blues debuted January 15, 1981, and television was never to be the same again
Amazon.com essential video:
Hill Street Blues was a pivotal show in television history. It was a move away from the larger-than-life cop action shows such as S.W.A.T. and Starsky and Hutch, although it was still stylistically a while before the gritty realism of NYPD Blue or Law and Order. Hill Street Blues was more down-to-earth: cops could get shot, relationships were difficult, characters you loved could be killed (remember that painful moment of silence for the beloved Sergeant Esterhaus?). But there was also the occasional surreal moment that gave each episode a rare energy.
The Very Best of Hill Street Blues showcases the magic of the long-running series: the wonderful ensemble cast headed by Daniel Travanti and Veronica Hamel, the consistently excellent writing, and the multi-episode plot lines, which were engaging and significant. The moving force behind the magic was Steven Bochco, whose ingenious concept for the look and the feel of the show changed the way television was made. This seven episode series is a testament to just how good a TV drama can be. --Brendan J. LaSalle

Television as a medium is legitimized if by nothing else then by "Hill Street Blues," the personification of excellence. It succeeds on many levels and does so by staying true to the restraints and liberties that set television apart from other art forms. It is a story that would be lost on a larger screen, one that requires the range and continuity of a weekly series, and one that would be flat on a page without the sounds, set design, camera work and fine performances that convey it.

It is so good to see this ground breaking show again in this special box set. There are episodes here that will leave the new viewer hanging since they were meant to be seen in a whole season of ongoing story (for example the shooting of Officer Hill and Renko) nonetheless, the sheer art of the acting and every present backround cast on these shows is incredible!

"Hill Street Blues" is a pivotal show in television history, not only because it brought a flinty-realism in terms of both the style and substance of the program, but because it proved that a show could survive despite low Nielsen ratings as long as people with large amounts of disposable income were the ones doing the watching. Created by Stephen Bochco and Michael Kozoll, "Hill Street Blues" used cinematic techniques associated with the films of Robert Altman ("M*A*S*H") with an unusual mixture ... Read More
