Have been meaning to get round to starting a DVD Movies discussion thread for the eighties private detective action drama series Simon & Simon. Below are the DVD releases that the show has had to date:

The mid-nineties reunion TV film In Trouble Again was included as an extra/bonus feature in Shout's Season Five DVD boxset. Seasons 5-8 were originally released on DVD by Shout as part of their Shout! Select line before becoming more widely available later on.

It's been some time since I watched the majority of the first six seasons of the show, but it might be in the Season Four set where two episodes are syndicated versions (they don't have a promo before the title sequence starts). Seasons 2-4 have the discs in slimline cases in a card slipcase, then the last four seasons have the discs in a plastic DVD case.

The Season Two DVD set includes the original two-part version of the crossover with Magnum, P.I. Also, in total, Simon & Simon had two feature-length episodes, "Pirate's Key" (Season Two) and "C'est Simon" (the season 4 premiere).
