Description:
It's business as usual at the Remington Steele Detective Agency, which means a caseload bursting with action, adventure, romance and danger! It's all in a day's work for the enchanting Laura Holt and the dashing Remington Steele, whose personal and professional relationships continue to heat up. Season four finds the jet-setting detective duo solving crimes at home and around the world, and season five features the show's thrilling final episodes in which Steele's shadowy past clashes head-on with his uncertain future. At the Steele Agency, it's never just another dull day at the office!
Amazon.com:
The fourth season picks up where the third left off--with the disappearance of Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan). As the two-parter ('Steel Searching') opens, Mildred Krebs (Doris Roberts) is in the dumps. Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) seems to be handling the loss of her associate well, but she's just as distraught as Mildred. Fortunately, they’re able to track him down in London. That's the good news. The bad news is that Scotland Yard thinks he's a modern day Jack the Ripper. In this episode, Laura also clues Mildred in to the fact that 'Remington Steele' is an assumed name and that the agency is actually her creation. Episodes of note include 'Forged Steele,' in which Steele gambles away the business, 'Steele on the Air,' in which Mildred becomes a radio sex therapist to solve the murder of a traffic reporter, and 'Beg, Borrow or Steele,' in which Holt and Steele are reported murdered. Among the fourth year guests are Lawrence Tierney ('Grappling Steele'), Terry O'Quinn ('Coffee, Tea or Steele'), and Frances Conroy ('Steele Hanging in There'). As for Steele's trademark movie references, they encompass North by Northwest ('Corn Fed Steele'), D.O.A. ('Premium Steele'), and Out of the Past ('Steele in the Spotlight').
Since NBC cancelled Remington Steele after the fourth year, the truncated fifth is often dismissed as a contractual obligation. When word got out that Brosnan was to be 007, renewed ratings justified a stay of execution (otherwise, he'd have donned the Bond duds sooner). At least Brosnan and Zimbalist weren't tied to a full season, but rather three two-hour movies. Most fans consider these episodes the weakest, because of the bickering, the bogus wedding, and Jack Scalia's meddling Tony Roselli. Still, they do tie up several loose ends, like the identity of Steele's father, in a tidy fashion. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - great service
I was very gladfull with the service that amazon provide me, the delivery was earlier than the expected
Rating:  - DVD problems disappoint
I purchased the full Remington Steele series (Seasons 1 - 5). When one episode on the third season disc wouldn't play due to technical problems, I was annoyed, but I was really disappointed when the season 5 disc had problems preventing me from watching the last episodes of the series.
Rating: - Remington Steele is still a fave...
I've watched Remington Steele since I was a little girl and I've always loved it. It's great to finally complete the collection so I can enjoy them for many years to come.
Yes, some of the effects are a bit dated and cheesy but Pierce Brosnan makes up for everything. The tension between Remington and Laura is the kind that brings you back into the storyline time and time, again.
Love it.
Rating:  - Seasons 2-5 - horrible waste of talent
Everything but the Season 1 and the first one on Season 2 - is close to completely unbearable. It is especially vivid when you watch it on DVD in fast sequence.
Rating:  - Steele Wonderful
After reading so many bad reviews on Season 5 I didn't know if I could stomach watching two of my favorites wreak havoc on one another. I got the DVD set in the mail and preceded to watch Season 5 first to "pull the band-aid off" if you will and see just how bad it was. I have to say that to ME I saw NO difference at all. I thought I was still watching the same show....to me Laura didn't act any differently then she had the other 4 seasons prior to season 5. Everything still seemed the same to ... Read More
