I was a huge fan of the Rookies. I picked up the first season in 2007, but, nothing has come out since. I think Ontkean was replaced after the first season by Bruce Fairburn. The show was only out for four season.

I also like to see the network release the 2nd Season of SWAT as well.

Yes-more of this show needs to come out. At least one more season so that all of the eps with Willie are available at least.

But being a Sony show.......

i think we are coming into four years since the S1 came out so it would appear this show is stalled. I like the show, especially the young Kate Jackson as a nurse in the show. I think Kate was in her early 20s and was the show before she did Charlie's Angels.

 

I hope Sony looks at licensing this show to Shout Factory along with SWAT. I really miss the 1970s police dramas.

It's a kind of moralizing and dated show (script-wise) when seen now, but I'll still take it over the dreadfully 'serious' fluff of today that's lacking any real depth or interesting characters let alone good actors.

Remember that S1 of "The Rookies" didn't even include the pilot film for that series which had Darren McGavin in the role Gerald O'Laughlin took over.

I would be happy with SWAT being completed. There is talked of another SWAT movie, so maybe the 2nd season will be released with the movie. I was a huge SWAT fan growing up along with the police dramas of the 1970s.

The TV movie pilot for The Rookies, could that be released as a Sony Classic MOD title?

Among the long list of shows started and not finished, I am annoyed at not being able to finish the Rookies and SWAT. I know all of season 2 of SWAT is on HULA. I really enjoy the Rookies but it is so dated some of the social statements seem comical and cliched by now. But that adds to the charm. Lets face it, the incredible beautiful Kate Jackson alone makes the purchase worthwhile.
