I was very excited about finding a new copy of the mini-series, Chiefs. I searched for what seems like years! I wasn't disappointed in the service or condition of the product. The sound and video wasn't as crisp as it could have been...but, it wasn't bad either. (I expected it wouldn't be dead-on given it was a reproduction.)
No complaints. I'd order from this supplier again.

This is a review of the mini series and not of the DVD or format. It is excellent and one of the best mini series ever on television--a standout. Hopefully, more choices and formats will become available to the general public so thay can watch this engrossing production, in its full and un-condensed and un-edited version. It is Deep-Southy in location and studies both the noble and also sinister attributes of three generations of police chiefs in a Southern family, Southern Georgia town. All of the players are at their best, Heston, Carridine, Collins, Williams, et. al.

I loved this mini series when it was first aired. I later received the 2 tapes edition as a gift, but I was disappointed that many of the scenes were cut.
I had read the book a few years after it was published.
The story is about three police chiefs over a 38 year span in which brutal murders are committed. This movie also deals with racial relations in the south during these different time periods.
The actors were all terific, especially Billy Dee Williams and Wayne Rogers. Both were exactly as I pictured their characters.
The ending was especially touching when Billy Lee discovers that Tyler Watts is really Joshua Cole, a boyhood friend long lost. This ending is different from the book, in which Billy Lee never learns who Tyler Watts is.
Parts of this is sad, when Will Henry Lee and Marshall Peters are killed. This is a tear jerker.
Keith Caradine was perfect in the role of Foxy, who was a very menacing and scary guy.
I hope to see this on DVD soon. Does anyone know why this is not available? If so, please enlighten me. I am tempted to buy a region 2 player, since that particular DVD is available.
I am hoping that the DVD will be released soon as originally aired without any cutting out of scenes.

I first watched this tv mini when I was about 11 years old. It was scary to me. I always held my hands in front of my face when old Foxy Thunderburk would come on screen. I remember thinking about how old Sonny was so mean to people,especially blacks. I was glad when Foxy buried him and his motorcycle. I loved the acting as well. I am a great fan of the first and third chief, as well as Charles Heston. I have watch "Chiefs" twice in my life time. It has been over 13 years since I have watched it. I would love to own it this Christmas 2008. I'm going to start looking for it. I want the extended version.
