I'd love to have them all on DVD, but they've never been released on disc. I was talking about it with Brandi the other day, and it occurred to me that these shows would be ideal for the Warner Archive manufactured-on-demand DVD program. Like the many Hanna-Barbara cartoon shows that they've been issuing in complete series sets, the WB private eye shows would probably only be of interest to a comparatively small group of fans - but those fans would certainly be willing to pay to have them in authorized, complete season/series sets. They just started putting out The F.B.I. on DVD, so, obviously, they're not opposed to releasing some of their live-action TV back catalog.
I know I would collect them, if affordably priced. Anyone else out there want to see Warner Archives pull these great shows out of the vault?

I haven't seen either show, but I'd buy them based on their reputations. Especially Hawaiian Eye. That one sounds made for me.
They did run BOURBON STREET BEAT. I managed to record some.
They must have run Bourbon Street once they finished Surfside, and we'd moved away by then, I'm guessing.
Oh, man. Hawaiian Eye! I haven't seen an episode of that since I was a tyke.
I especially remember one episode of 77 sunset strip that had no dialog in it and was a zimbalist episode, if my memory serves me....I was amazed by it when it was over I think my brother said something like, hey nobody said anything!
The no dialogue episode was "The Silent Caper," directed and, I believe, written by Roger Smith. The only "talking" was a dog barking. Good episode. JERRY AHERN
