Police Story - 'Season 3' DVDs Announced for Summer by Shout! 6-disc set from the 1975-76 season will be available this August

Created by ex-cop-turned-acclaimed author Joseph Wambaugh (The Onion Field), Police Story follows the lives of LAPD officers in an anthology of realistic and gritty accounts of what it meant to carry a badge in 1970s Los Angeles. The hit series became a major influence on many critically acclaimed shows that followed, including Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue and Homicide: Life On The Street. Eschewing the more simplistic, "good guys versus bad guys" approach often seen in its predecessors and contemporaries, Police Story examined this familiar genre through a complex lens. Presenting its characters as multidimensional, fallible, and very human, the series offered dramatic insight into the true nature of police work. Featuring an array of notable guest stars - including Kurt Russell, Dick Butkus, Chuck Connors, Cleavon Little, Stella Stevens, Sal Mineo, Cindy Williams, Danny Bonaduce, Robert Forster, Bernie Casey, Edgar Bergen, Robert Stack, George Hamilton, Dabney Coleman, Dean Stockwell, and Sylvester Stallone - Police Story's third season continues the series' legacy of powerful and thought-provoking drama. All 22 Original Episodes from 1975-76. August 21st is the release date Shout! Factory's announced for Police Story - Season 3 on DVD. Priced at $34.99 SRP for a 6-disc set, Shout! has an important product note about this item: "The episodes on this set were sourced from the best surviving video masters of Police Story: Season Three.
