It is long past due for The F.B.I. to be released on DVD!! All we get are stupid reality shows that suck!

I knew someone who is a retired Marine Corps Officer. He taught FBI Agents how to use fire arms at Quantico, VA. Home of The FBI Academy and The Marine Corps base.

Channel 2 KTVU played it too. It was Quinn Martin's first series in color.

[frankd1965]

I do remember the re-runs on KTVU. they showed the whole cyle until 1980. KOFY picked up the re-runs but up to the 1969-1970 seasons

Time for a D.V.D. release! you probably remember that until his death, J. Edgar Hoover appeared in a short segment introducing the season opener.

[frankd1965]

do remember. My neighbor was a retired colonel in the Marine Reserves and he often went to Quantico, Virginia to train J. Edgar Hoover's finest in weapons.

This is a classic series. A QM(Quinn Martin) production with agents driving Ford LTD's and mobsters in T-Birds and Lincoln Continentals.

@frankd1965, all of Quinn Martin's series featured Fords, and a Lincoln Model K made many appearances on "The Untouchables" (Martin was executive producer for its first season only).

On "The Fugitive" When Dr. Kimble worked for a wealthy family. There was always a Lincoln or Thundrbird in the driveway.
