Video:
The video quality, much like that of the Anchor Bay release of another much-beloved Cannell series, Silk Stalkings, is adequate, meaning that it isn't much better than what one would expect on television or VHS. At times the colors, specifically reds and purples (this was the late 80s, people!), bleed or appear to be blurry. Overall, the DVD transfer is nothing remarkable; not poor quality, but not stellar either. I am one of the few people left on this planet who actually enjoys a full-frame presentation, so the fact that there is no widescreen option did not bother me in the slightest, especially since I remember the original show broadcast in full frame to begin with.

Sound: The sound quality, which is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo, is quite good. One pet peeve I have is having to raise and lower the volume depending on whether dialogue is being spoken, action scenes are taking place, or songs are playing. In this respect, this DVD is quite good. At times, especially during the scenes that take place in the police station, a slight echo can be detected, but other than that, there is nothing that stands out in terms of a lack of sound quality.

Extras: Alas, there are no extras on this collection, not that one would necessarily expect this on a third season release of a television show. Fans should take note that Season One features interviews with most of the cast members sans Johnny Depp, as well as a booklet. This was similar with the release of Silk Stalkings, which even featured some interviews on the Season Two release, but at that point the general impression was that they were really stretching for extra material at that point. The same would probably have been true if there were interviews on Season Three of Jump Street, unless Depp had had a change of heart about his willingness to talk about his experience on the show. And I may be in the minority here, but as a little girl teasing her bangs as high as they could possibly go in the late 80s, to this day I prefer Depp as the pinup idol he was back then. Same goes for Tom Cruise. Now that both actors have gone and gotten all serious, it's not as much fun. To experience or to look at.

Final Thoughts:
Overall, this is a great addition to the collection of any fan of creator Steven J. Cannell's work, the early work of Johnny Depp, or the ensemble cast of 21 Jump Street. Although this collection cannot help feeling dated thanks to the wardrobe and some of the cultural references, the plots remain, for the most part, absorbing, if not a little farfetched at times. Those who know nothing about the show but who have an interest in it would be better served by checking out the first season, where the premise is less established and the characters' personal histories are not as well entrenched.
