LA Law: Season One

Finally!!! On DVD at last!
Back in February 1987, ITV started to screen the first series of a new US legal drama LA LAW. Screening at 9pm every Thursday through until July, LA LAW quickly became a ratings hit. Previous courtroom drama on ITV had been provided by John Mortimer's Rumpole of the Bailey. LA LAW was something different.
This first series introduced us to the characters played by Harry Hamlin (Michael Kuzak), Jimmy Smits (Victor Sifuentes), Susan Dey (Grace Van Owen), Jill Eikenberry (Ann Kelsey), Richard Dysart (Leland McKenzie) and Corbin Bernsen (Arnie Becker) among others.
This UK release of LA LAW is a worldwide first. Fans in the US have been waiting for a long time for a release there without success.

I wrote to Revelation and they got back to me quickly, that they plan on releasing ALL of the LA Law seasons as the year goes forward. I hope people will look past the fact that this is an independent production house, without a big marketing budget and have confidence to purchase Season One.

This is not some cheap, Pacific Rim knock off. This...

LA Law Finally Out on DVD
I have been waiting for this classic TV program to come out on DVD and I was pleased to see it on Amazon. I was concerned about the DVDs playing in the US as they come from a publisher in England. I contacted the seller by email and received a prompt reply that the discs did not have a Region and would play on US machines.

My package arrived yesterday (one day early) and I opened it immediately. I did note that the back of the dvd slip cover shows PAL and the number two in a circle but I had been told that there was no region so I proceeded to remove the plastic wrapping. The six-disc set is contained in a plastic case with a colorful slip cover. The plastic disc case itself is a little difficult to open and close but the discs are securely held in compartments inside. The discs themselves are professionally made with screen-printed labels. The discs are single-sided.

The quality of the transfer to disc was very good in both video and sound. I noted a small...
