Sadly, in my opinion, only two seasons of this Cop show were ever made. I have both series 1&2 and anyone who likes the Hill Street Blues/NYPD Blue genre will certainly like Crime Story.

Now back in the day CRIME STORY was cutting edge tv , based in the 60s las vegas ,it's a fantastic series about a bunch of cops lead by hard as nails lietenant MIKE TERILLO hunting down merciless gangster RAY LUCA , seasons 1&2 are very gritty drama , filled with some no holds barred gun fights and action scenes ,and the costumes and sets are terrific , you will notce many faces in this show who went on to become big stars , it comes highly recommended
AMAZONS product description is WRONG , with this CRIME STORY SEASON 2 dvd you get all 22 EPISODES on 5 DISCS, not just on 1 DISC as stated in AMAZONS description ( SEASON 1 has 5 DISCS too )
A BIT PRICEY THESE DAYS - BUT STILL WORTH EVERY PENNY - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TV COP SHOW :)

Glad to have found this
20 Feb 2007
Format:DVD
When "Crime Story" starring Dennis Farina and Anthony Dennison came out in 1986, I was instantly hooked, and could not wait until the next episode. Once the show ended, I was disappointed and caught re-runs when I could.
Now, after searching for hard to find and expensive VHS sets, I opted instead for the DVD sets which have both seasons. This show was, IMO definitely a precursor to "The Sopranos" and other great crime shows and Dramas that have since won legions of followers. If you were/are an ardent fan of the series or any other crime/mobster films, these DVD sets are a must have for your collection.

Crime Story Rocks!
9 Mar 2006
Format:DVD
The season two DVDs are great. The upgraded video quality captures every nuance of the fantastic lighting and set design of Crime Story. The ability to pause the DVD and capture the various expressions and body language of the rat with an artist's soul, Frank Holman, is worth every penny.
If you've never heard of Crime Story, buy season one and two and you will be hooked!

Glad to see it on DVD but a Disappointing Transfer
24 April 2006
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had read a few reviews here regarding the DVD versions of Crime Story, including some that commented on the poor visual quality of these transfers, but still purchased these anyway for the content, hoping those reviewers were real nitpickers. Sadly, I have to agree. While not dark and muddy as one reviewer described, they are strangely flat, lacking the contrast and brilliance one expects on a DVD. In addition, there is an annoying pattern to the image, much like if it were being viewed through a very sheer cloth, or projected onto a cloth screen. Not graininess, but definitely a faint weave-like pattern. The sound is also a bit muddy. The content is still why I bought these, but the quality is definitely not anywhere near what you'd expect. In fact, the first two seasons of Superman from the 1950's put the quality of these DVD transfers to shame. I haven't run across the song substitutions yet that have been mentioned, and my memory might not be good enough to notice those. The Del Shannon rework of Runaway is still intact at the start of each episode.
