Share the Season One fun with stars Kate Jackson and Bruce Boxleitner in this fast-paced 5-Disc, 21-Episode Set of the lighthearted series that proves laughs and romance are powerful weapons in the battle to protect national security.

Review: This is one of those shows where I knew the name, but I didn't remember the premise.  I grew up in the 1980s, but most of my time was spent trolling shows like Alf, the A-Team and Saved by the Bell.  In fact I watched Saved by the Bell when I woke up this morning, so I guess some things never change, huh?  I digress...the Scarecrow and Mrs. King could be qualified as a cult classic.  It has taken forever to hit DVD and the fans have been clammoring online for some time anxiously awaiting its release.  Finally, Warner Bros. has decided to have mercy on the legions of fans and throw them the complete first season on DVD!

The chemistry between Kate Jackson and Bruce Boxleitner (Mrs. King and the Scarecrow) is top notch.  The show is full of intrigue, fantasy and adventure.  The scope it put itself into was absolutely huge.  That was one of the great things about television shows in the 80s, they had no problem mixing romance, adventure and mystery.  Its a shame that I missed out on this show back when it aired, but I'm happy to be able to keep up with it now on DVD.

This DVD release is the complete first season of the show, which consists of 21 episodes.  The show ran for four more seasons after that, so we have a few more DVD releases to look forward to!   The clothing and music don't hold up well (it was 1983 after all!), but the acting and plots are still fun!
