The half-hour documentary about 1980s television that accompanies this Simon & Simon - Season One box set does the show itself no favors. By profiling several other series of that era, it puts Simon & Simon right in its proper perspective: i.e., not as inane as, say, The A-Team or Knight Rider, but nowhere near as cool or ground-breaking as Miami Vice, as engaging as Quantum Leap, or as charming as Magnum P.I.. Not that this series about private investigating brothers A.J. (Jameson Parker) and Rick (Gerald McRaney) Simon is bad; like '80s San Diego, where it takes place, it's pleasant, laid-back, and not especially sophisticated. The rapport between the mismatched siblings has a certain roguish charm (A.J., the younger one, is fairly strait-laced and fastidious, while Rick is his loose cannon foil) that's reflected in the overall tone, as the brothers, who aren't exactly at the top of the heap in their profession, pursue killers, kidnappers, computer hackers, crooked concert ticket brokers, and such. But overall, this is tame stuff, even considering its tongue-in-cheek intentions. It's hard to imagine that viewers used to the higher production values, more graphic and intense content, and "keeping it real" vibe of new millennium cop dramas will be riveted by Simon & Simon's relentlessly lightweight and low-tech style; the sets are cheesy, the writing is drab, the villains are one-dimensional, and aside from the two stars, the acting is by and large on a Grade B level. On the other hand, those who abhor today's TV for the very reasons mentioned above might well prefer a gentle walk down memory lane and/or a slice of undemanding escapism, and this basic four-disc, 13-episode set will surely provide it. --Sam Graham

"Simon & Simon" was never the critics' darling, over it's eight-season run, as it didn't offer sexy leading men, or gritty, down-beat plots (at least until the final season). But it's many loyal fans found in it the perfect recipe of charm, humor, and light-hearted entertainment, and "Simon & Simon - Season One" is a wonderful reminder of a simpler time, and two very likable brothers.
Rick Simon (future "Major Dad" star Gerald McRaney) is a flaky, gonzo-style detective in a cowboy hat, ... Read More

Me just finish watching 1st season of Simon & Simon. They two brothers that work together to solve crime. They very different. Now Sasquatch have to spend long time to think about who favorite Simon. A.J. smart and use big words. Rick tough like me. Me like truck he drive. He and A.J. find trouble but work together and get out. Me who is Sasquatch think it differences between A.J. and Rick that make it work. That probably lesson for me and Owl.

I loved this show as a kid and after watching it again recently I've found that I love it even more the second time around. Great characters and premise and, best of all, every episode makes me laugh. I can only hope we get the other seasons. Thankfully, Netflx offer all seasons (missing only a few eps each season) for instant viewing, but the quality just isn't the same as these DVDs.
