It's probably best this series is ending. The episodes were getting repetitive. One corrupt, or lazy, or hothead cop after another. Frank was inconsistent with his viewpoints, wanting to give one the benefit of the doubt, then crucifying the next. Erin was "I am woman, hear me roar" one minute, then whining the next that people didn't like her. Although I like the relationship between Jamie and Eddie, Jamie became such a bore. The only character that showed any real growth was Danny. Definitely mellowed in the last few seasons. I had read the family dinner scenes became less enjoyable to film. These became boring to watch too, until Eddie started her Q&A game. There were some good, even great episodes, but 14 seasons is enough.

Yeah, pretty cheesy and about an hour too long. And isn't it ironic that I watched a show about The Last Blockbuster on a little streaming service called Netflix.

The Disney Channel was launched on April 18, 1983 and this series premiered in November 1983. Disney+ is the only streaming service that has almost all of its library online, but this series is one of the few exceptions. I really can't imagine why. It was very different at the time, and I could hardly wait for each week's episode. When the episodes were released on VHS, they were scarce in my area, so I was excited when the DVD came out, but disappointed that it was only the first 13 episodes. This series has never been on any streaming service, which is really a shame. How about it Disney+?
