Trauma: Season 1 is four discs of the high-energy show dealing with a team of emergency medical workers who encounter traumatic events daily. This show tried to remain as realistic as possible and the actors were often right in the middle of the action. The series was shot on location in and around San Francisco.

Numbers: The Final Season is four discs from the last year of the successful series that used mathematical equations to solve crimes. Numbers took its timeslot every Friday night, but was still cancelled by the network this year. Why? CBS did its own math and decided the cost of producing Numbers outweighed the amount of viewers watching…for the net anyway. At least that’s what series star Rob Morrow tells us.

Adam 12: Season Five was the series that followed two police partners as they took on criminal from killers, burglars and racketeers to simple inebriated traffic directors. This was the spinoff series of the mega hit Dragnet and included crossover guests from another of Producer Jack Webb’s series, Emergency!
