“Third Watch: The Complete First Season"
Reviewer:
Wayne Klein
Studio: Warner Brothers
Genre: TV Series
Release:
2/05/08
Special Features: "The Nights of Camelot", gag reel, previews
Review:

"Third Watch" or as many fans who lost track of the show once it got bounced around in the schedule (I guess it could be called "Who Watched" as the show had a devoted following, did decently in the ratings but many fans lost track of the show) lasting six seasons and, in many respects, taking cop/paramedic dramas (such as "Emergency!") and tweaking it with the "E.R." touch. Produced by John Wells ("The West Wing", "E.R."), the show featured a top notch cast such as Kim Raver ("24"), writing, directing and producing staff the series focuses on a fictional Police Precinct nicknamed "Camelot" and the men and women who risk their lives to save others. ---

Image & Sound:

Fans will find this easy to watch--the transfer although not flawless--looks extremely good with solid blacks and nice image clarity and sharpness. Audio sounds quite nice with a nice stereo presentation.

Special Features:

"The Nights of Camelot" is a fifteen minute featurette focusing on the creation and development of the series. Featuring plenty of interviews with cast, production crew and creative talent, it's a solid entry. ***

We also get an amusing gag reel from the first season. I'm hoping that as we get more seasons of the show we'll continue to get featurettes, deleted scenes, gag reels and, perhaps, a couple of commentary tracks but I wouldn't count on it.

Final Words:

A terrific show that I caught only during its first two seasons, "Third Watch" is a well produced, written, directed and acted show that initially benefited from its placement behind "E.R.". Like lots of shows that had strong shows in front of them, "Third Watch" benefited and captured an interested audience unlike most shows, though, "Third Watch" deserved the acclaims, Emmys and accolades it received during its six year run.
