Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome to watch!!
Review: I was 5 when it first aired. I so remember watching Baretta with my Dad. It was great. I cant say I understood the stories back then when I was little, but now I really do. Baretta was a tough guy but you knew that he was a softy. No matter that he hid it well. It was a must have for me. To just be able to see a show that I grew up with and enjoy it is great. And to know it was one of the two shows my father and I adored is soooo cool.Who couldnt love Tony Baretta for wanting justice against the drug dealers and the mob.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Come on, where is season 2???
Review: I was glad to pick up season one. I enjoyed ever minute of it. I forgot how much fun and entertaining Baretta was. Now I am waiting for season two. Come on, "keep your eye on the sparrow." Give us season two.

Summary: The 70s Cop Show at its Best
Review: I've carried fond memories of this show around in my head for the past quarter century and had always been dying to see it again (it was NEVER re-aired here after the initial broadcast seasons, boo hoo).

But I was afraid that like a lot of things, it might not stand the test of time. Well, man am I glad to report there is nooo danger of that here. This show still rules after all these years!

Whatever hot water he may be in today, I have to say that this show would be nothing without the awesome talent and genuine personality of Mr. Robert Blake. As Tony Baretta he had a true charm and warmth that I've really missed on TV over the years. You just gotta love this guy!

And forget about Huggy-bear, kiddies. Ol' jive-talkin' Rooster is THE original streetcorner playa dat all those who've come after have tried to copy. Tom Ewell is great as Baretta's unlikely sidekick Billy too (always thought it was weird he was billed in every episode as a "guest star") and there's some great dialogue between them.

This show is typical 70s cheese, like the episode where Baretta buys a plane ticket to follow some hoods to Mexico with no passport, under an assumed name and in disguise as a stoned hippie -- no questions asked! Let's just see any TV cop of today's post-911 world try and pull off that little trick, heh heh.

But it seemed kind of strange that the famous theme song didn't have any words. Were the words only added in season 2? Speaking of which, WE NEED SEASON 2!!! NOW!!! -- And while you're at it, how about bringing us Cannon, Kolchak the Night Stalker, Hawaii Five-0, Mannix, Banacek and Columbo?

Meanwhile, while those rummies get their act together I think I'm gonna invite me a cousin over for some chili dogs... Tell the bird to grab the phone. ;)

Summary: SEASON TWO PLEASE!!!!????
Review: It is been over 16 months since the release of Season One, please release SEASON TWO as soon as possible. THANKS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You can take this to the bank
Review: Nice to see I'm not the only one who missed these great shows from the 70's. I see Kung Fu is coming in March, can The Night Stalker be far behind? The ABC network put out some quality programming in the 70's didn't it? I thoroughly enjoyed taking my time going through season 1 of Baretta. I guess there was a copyright issue in regards to Sammy Davis' vocals of the title track. That did bum me out a bit but I just sang it myself(LOL). I hope we don't have to wait until Robert Blake gets convicted for season 2's release on DVD.

Summary: Baretta - Season One
Review: Okay, so I lied! This set of DVDs is a perfect 5 out of 5, we're talking about Baretta here, the show was a classic!
So this is why I'm getting your attention, every episode is a fantastic walk down memory lane, the only draw back is that every episode begins and ends with the theme music minus the words! Can you imagine? it's like watching Baretta without any of HIS dialogue, but everyone else is all there! Some kind of cheap royalty battle must have gone on to have this classic series go out to the masses without the "eye on the sparrow" music with all the lyrics over the credits! Every time the music comes up, you get a slap in the face!
The only taste of the classic song was slipped into episode 4 "if you can't pay the price". Here we have Tony singing along to his car radio while it is playing Baretta's theme song... lyrics included!
Sure it's a small detail, but when you're expecting to get the actual first season of Baretta, that should include the theme music that accompanied the actual show... shouldn't it?
All I can say is that I truely hope they get this fixed for the second season DVD set.

Summary: I HOPE THAT I WILL SEE SEASON 2 BEFORE I DIE :)???!!!:)
Review: Pleeeeeeease Releeeeease SEASON Twooooooooo, I am DIYING???!!!:)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't hold your breath
Review: Season two will most likely not be released anytime soon as the first season's sales were not what the studio had hoped. I read that out of a magazine last month so don't hold your breath for season two. sorry for the bad news.
