Booker [DVD]

Watching this series brought back so many wonderful memories for me. The character of Booker is the definition of cool, and Richard Grieco played this part so well. I wish there could have been more episodes to this series.Unfortunately everything Richard Grieco did after this was garbage. He played roles in which he was cruel and always a villian. And in recent years he looks nothing like he did then. His hair is long and stringy and his face looks like he had some botched cosmetic surgery. It's really too bad because he was wonderful as the brave, romantic hero. If I would have been his agent back then, that's what I would have encouraged him to do. Oh well....I will remember him fondly the way he was.Booker is a great show and he did a great job playing this cool, compassionate, sexy, hero. Watch it- you won't be sorry!Richard

Richard Grieco starred in 21 Jumpstreet(one of my all time favorite TV shows!) then got his own show called "Booker". He plays an agent/investigator who fights crime in a major city, mostly on his own. Although this show did not last long, it still has quite a few fans out there. I like the original theme song from Billy Idol called "Hot in the City". Idol is one of my favorite non-metal music artists from the 80's. If you liked him in 21 Jumpstreet(once again, a personal all time favorite), Booker should also be to your liking.

If you read previous reviews, they will state missing Music..which is truePrevious reviews state the BB King episode Someone Stole Lucille is missing...Which is trueWhat the other reviewers didnt mention is the Deals and Wheels episode which was a 21 Jump street cross over is missing from this collection as well the Jump Street second part. You can get this episode and the jump street episode on the 21 Jump Street - The Complete Fourth SeasonNow if you are a fan of the acting, other than noting that most the music is gone, then you will enjoy this collection for what it is worth. Grieco shines as the off beat Booker. He is no Sam Spade, but it gets the job done. His character holds the show together. He alone is why you want to watch this show.However It was a show the changed styles from an off beat cop show to a quirky detective show with punkish chic overtones. The show got weaker by the end of its run. Also Losing Kstie Rich (after rpisode 14) and putting in Lori Petty was a waste of acting talent and character. It also under used the acting talents of actress Marcia Strassman, who proved she is much more than Mrs Kotter (Welcome Back, Kotter - The Complete First Season) was another nail in this show's coffin.There is no special features or commentary tracks.Just the shows to fill this incomplete collection.I have one thing to say to those studios who make films and those who release DVDs. Wy not spend the money and release the shows as they were. I know music costs. BUT this is why Shout Entertainment canceled the show release of the complete series of Chuck Conner's last series Werewolf. The music rights could not be agreed to and it overlapped important dialog..so you would lose the show if you cut the music--which is slightly the problem with this releaseSo if you liked this one season series, when are they going to release the other Greico one season wonder series Marker?Bennet Pomerantz AUDIOWORLD

I watched 21 Jump Street and loved Booker as a character and was sad when he left the gang. I was curious when I found out that he got his own tv show and wanted to watch it. It is very different that Jump Street and wasn't as funny in the first few episodes. But after the first half of the season the tone of the show changed and got more entertaining, at least in my opinion. So it's a bit uneven and therefore the 3 stars rating. And also I've heard that the music has changed on the dvd but since I never watched the show when it aired I could never tell and it doesn't bother me. But it is a chame that the intro music is no longer by Billy Idol - Hot in the city. That song is so good and fitting with the show, now instead it's a lame disgrace of a song. So if your a fan of the Booker character and Richard Grieco this is worth watching!

I remember loving the show. So glad that they came out with this one and hope they come out with Marker pretty soon. I enjoyed Richard's tv work, but have only seen a few movies that I cared about his performances. So glad I was able to find this at a reasonable price.

I liked this series back inna day so I started looking to purchase. Could only find it in Amazon for an affordable price

Used products do not have to be bad, but this was ridiculous. I simply do not understand anybody had the nerve to sell something in this state. Case was cracked and did not close in full, all dvd’s were scratched, one even had a complete crack in it!

This was one of the greatest Tv series of all times. How very sad it got cancelled. Richard Grieco was at his finest. I never wanted it to end...............and will definitely watch it over & over again. As a collector of MANY TV DVD's, this is got to be one of my favorites.

I did Security for "Booker" and "21 Jump Street"

great series
