DVD Remington Steele - Seasons 4 and 5
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
Finally with the release of this dvd set I am the proud owner of all of the Remington Steel series. The mystery and romance continues, Pierce & Stephanie are the same - their charming selves and Mildred is an absolute sweetheart. Product quality is excellent. But alas the series comes to end. Wish there was more.... sigh!!!
Great!
I loved it. It was as good as expected. I only wish the show had continued running.
Does ANYONE out there like Season 5?
I love season four. I love the shift in dynamic amongs the trio once Mildred knows Steele's secret. Season five... well, like every other die-hard fan, season five is almost enough to make me cry.
Problem, however: my DVD from Amazon has a technical problem at the beginning of season five, and I cannot watch one of the episodes. The menu shows that it is there, but when you hit "Play" it actually skips to the NEXT episode. I advise that you check the DVD's carefully before throwing away any packaging.
As a diehard Pierce Brosnan fan I grew up begging to be allowed to stay up late on a school night to see Remington Steele. I even used to lie and say I had never seen it if it was a repeat. In college, the best gift I got were VCR recordings of these shows from A&E that my mother made for me, actually pausing out commercials. When the DVDs were given to me by my husband I thought I was in heaven. I was right. These are so wonderful! I can watch them over and over and they fit in so nicely with every other Brosnan DVD I own. I love it when I have an excuse to curl up in front of the TV now! If you have ever enjoyed Remington Steele you should absolutely buy these in a second! The quality is great, the shows have no grainy qualities, and they are so much better than my worn out...

For Steele's sophomore year, Murphy and Bernice are out and Mildred Krebs (Emmy-magnet Doris Roberts) is in. She gets pulled into the orbit of private investigators Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) and Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) when she audits their agency in the two-part season opener ("Steele Away With Me"). Krebs follows the duo to Acapulco, where she helps with a case, and ends up abandoning the IRS for the more glamorous world of detective work. Other changes include a revamped title sequence and a new loft for Holt when a failed assassination attempt results in the destruction of her home ("Red Holt Steele").
While Krebs represents a welcome addition, wily quick change artist Major Descoine (Guy Boyd), who is introduced a few episodes later ("Steele Framed"), is... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Stephanie Zimbalist DVD Release Date: Released the 08 November 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

Remington Steele's fusion of whodunit mystery and screwball comedy burst onto television in 1982. After struggling to get clients to hire a female detective, Laura Holt (sultry Stephanie Zimbalist) invents a fictional boss named Remington Steele, whose dashing manly name draws in work. But while protecting some South African jewels, Holt runs across a mysterious thief and con-man (an elfin, baby-faced Pierce Brosnan) whom her client assumes is the nonexistent Steele--and when the case is resolved, the accidental detective decides he likes the work and sticks around, infuriating Holt with his arrogant ways and tantalizing her with his dashing good looks. Murders may occur at a winery, an island sex club, or a college reunion, but just about every episode plunders plot elements from...
