Mysteries on TV, your source for the most complete selection of detective, amateur sleuth, private investigator, and suspense television mystery series now available or coming soon to DVD, has two series that have a season DVD being released this week.
Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada played California Highway Patrol motorcycle cops Jon Baker and Frank "Ponch" Poncherello in CHiPs, a series that aired for 6 seasons on NBC from 1977 through 1983. Highlights (of a sort) from this season include a deadly chain-reaction crash, the appearance of a nettlesome TV-news crew, Ponch’s disco dancing, Halloween patrol; and a caped-biker daredevil.
The CHiPs Season Two DVD set of 4 discs contains all 22 episodes of the second season that aired from September 1978 to March 1979. Extras include the featurette "The Real ChiPs" and a feature-length special episode recounting the best cases of the first two seasons.
Finally available on DVD is Mike Connors as the ultra-cool private detective Joe Mannix. Created by Richard Levinson and William Link (who were also responsible for other classic television mystery series such as Columbo and Murder, She Wrote), Mannix, which aired on CBS for 8 seasons from 1967 through 1975, was at the time considered one of the most violent shows on television.
The Mannix Season One DVD set of 6 discs contains all 24 episodes of the first season that aired from September 1967 through March 1968, including the rarely seen pilot episode.
