Mcmillan & Wife: Season Five

"McMillan and Wife" was one of the programs included in the original classic anthology series NBC Mystery Movie. Along with "Columbo" and "McCloud" spinning alternate weeks, audiences of the 1970s enjoyed (as the title implied) movie-length episodes of each. "McMillan and Wife" was my favorite. With its, then unique, blend of drama, comedy, crime and romance, it's a series that truly had it all and paved the way for so many series to come. Indeed, one need only peruse a few of the crime shows today ("Bones", "Castle", or the "Mentalist" just to name a few) and one can easily see the influence of "McMillan and Wife". The series lasted for six seasons "technically", but Susan St. James left after season five and it never recovered from the blow. The network attempted to go for season six as a revamped "McMillan", with Rock Hudson going solo, but with a show in which the chemistry and indeed even the original title hinged on the "Wife", the spark was gone. The first five seasons however remain as one of the best series of the 1970s, and with an influence that reverberates to this day, I very HIGHLY recommend these DVD collections to any TV fan.

I want to rewatch the entire series.

One of my favorite shows back in the 70’s. Enjoying watching again 👍

great husband and wife mystery tv show. Funny show. Both actors play well off of each other. Some episodes are better than others. Highly recommend for mystery buffs.

I'm so glad to see the release of seasons 3, season 4 and season 5 of McMillan and Wife. I was too young to recognize good television when the show initially aired. I later became a fan of the show in syndication. I hope they release Season 6 as well. I agree the show lost a little pizzazz when St. James left but Season 6 has at least one fantastic episode, "Dark Sunrise".....superb writing. Rock Hudson fit this role like a glove. Yeah, St. James was good too during the earlier seasons but usually when a show is on it's last legs the writing suffers. However, "Dark Sunrise" was an excellent episode. I already have Seasons 1 & 2 and am looking forward to this summer when I can watch 3 more seasons!!! Hopefully 4!! (Hint Hint) Hooray!!!!

This season had some pretty good story lines and of course we are introduced to actress Martha Raye. This is also the last season for a few cast members.. So you will have to wait to see who have left the show for its last and final pay check? Could it be Sgt. Enwright ? Sally Or Mildred ? Then again it could be all three of them.. Stay tuned and buckle up for a great ride of dynamic story lines and guest stars..!

Rock Hudson,Susan St. James and Nancy Walker did a good job.

They simply do not make tv series like this one anymore. Yes, it's about murder but it's so tastefully done! No blood, no bodies, no autopsies--just lots of great dialogue between McMillan, Wife and Maid. Oh, and John Schuck too. I am also completely in love with the McMillan's house. It screams 1970s and makes me want to find a time machine and zoom back to the days pre-cell phone, pre-microwave and pre-personal computer. Rock Hudson plays his role with a sly glint in his eye, Susan St. James is a flaky hippie girl who is somehow living life as a conventional young matron and Nancy Walker is perfection as the wise-cracking housekeeper. I could watch this show over and over and over and I probably will!

a very good drama/humorous series.
