True, but let's not forget this is also the studio that treated fans to the infamous "split-season" releases.

Agreed. What an incredible shame that Adam-12 has been abandoned after only 1 season. No doubt in part to Universal's decision to release the show on the ill fated DVD-18 format (having an enormous amount of defective sets returned can't help in the studio's decision to release more seasons).

So True. Following Paramount's ill-advised move, FOX decides to split season 2 of this wonderful show, to disastrous results. And what a shame for all of us thinking this fantastic show would have all 4 of it's seasons released.
