Scarecrow and Mrs. King proves there was life for Kate Jackson after Charlie's Angels--and for Bruce Boxleitner before Babylon 5. Jackson's divorcée, Amanda King, a pretty lady with an '80s perm, lives outside D.C. with her sons, Jamie and Phillip. At a train station, she meets Boxleitner's Lee "Scarecrow" Stetson, who convinces her to do a "life or death" favor. The delivery to the man in the red hat doesn't go as planned, but King ends up cracking the case and a new team ensues. Scarecrow's boss, Billy (Mel Stewart), thinks a housewife will make a perfect decoy, though fellow agent Francine (Martha Smith) has her doubts. As she says about her colleague, "His methods might be unorthodox, but Scarecrow always delivers." Unfortunately for the apprentice agent, she can't tell anyone about her new career, not even her mother, Dotty (Beverly Garland, great value), who looks after the boys when she takes on assignments, offering different excuses every time. In Scarecrow, however, Amanda finds a friend as well as a partner--and a possible love interest, to judge from their longing glances. If Scarecrow and Mrs. King bears comparison with Remington Steele, the cases that deal with the domestic arena help to set it apart, with perpetrators ranging from cooking-show hosts to cosmetics titans. The more dramatic episodes don't work as well, mostly because they feel like retreads from The Rockford Files (executive producer Juanita Bartlett has written for both programs). Also, Jackson is a deft comic actress, but her crying scenes don't quite convince. Still, it's a minor complaint about a light entertainment that wasn't aiming for documentary realism. Plus, it's the chemistry between the leads that led to three more seasons--and Boxleitner's GQ good looks certainly didn't hurt. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Scarecrow and Mrs King July 28, 2010
Rupavathi (Singapore)
The DVD has good quality and wonderful resolution and the DVD is so clear. I enjoyed watching Season 1 DVDs and you relish every moment of the episode. They do bring back fond memories of the 1980s. You will not regret buying this DVD. Amazon was so efficient in sending the item quickly.

I loved rewatching this show... Most of the time when I get a old show that I watched I have not enjoyed as much as I did the first time. This was excellent and I enjoyed every minute cannot wait for the next seasons to be released.
We love Scarecrow & Mrs. King July 7, 2010
Jennifer Taylor
I used to watch re-runs of this show and loved it then. It's even better to watch all the epidsodes in order. It's nice to have family friendly television that's also extremely entertaining.
Season 1 Scarecrow and Mrs. King July 2, 2010
Terry (USA)
The show is great, but the DVD was lacking in extra features. Note to studio -season 2 needs to include features from both main stars. Also clean the print, it is not as crisp as it could be.
