Timeless. Immortal. From the inimitable theme song when theme songs were frequently better than the shows and an artform all by themselves - Hawaii 5.0, Gilligan's Island, Star Trek, Mary Tyler Moore, Mission Impossible - to the neato panels for commercial breaks, this show was brilliant: writing, directing, acting, stage design and even the stunts. Never took itself seriously but everyone involved obviously took the production seriously. There isn't a bad episode in all of these, and you have Robert Conrad offering commentary. It's all fun. Don't think McGiver, think Dr Who with better set design, casting, and no cheesy costumes.

This was one of my favorite show as a kid, I was shocked to see that they were in colour after the second season, but then again we had a black and white TV when I was growing op. :)
The show is just as fun to re-watch, I only vaguely remember the episodes here and there so it's almost all new to me and still holds up today. :)

the series was great the first time i saw it when i was a kid and still is.robert conrad's commentary was great,although it would have been better if he had carried it on past the first volume.i bought the sets 1 at a time as they came out and i'm a little upset that i can't get the 2 tv movies that come in the complete set.i hope they make them available soon so i can complete my collection.

Bought it for my hubby and he loves it. Very good picture quality. He recommends it to anyone who likes this tv show.

I M AT THE END OF THIS COLLECTION,every story was great until the end....the last movie is not as good as the series...the two heros are old and can not do the stunts...it was great to progress from black and white to colour..the sets were great
and very colourful

Great collection of the 60's series from a long time fan of the series. True entertainment from a time gone by.

If you're a Baby Boomer, you'll remember this amazing series. If you're a Gen-Xer, you remember MacGiver. And if you're a Gen-Y-er, you've probably encountered the poor film version and you deserve to treat yourself to the genuine article. Before MacG there was Jim West, a handsome lady's man with tight pants and a weapon in his...boot. His sidekick, Artemus Gordon, was a master of disguise, and together they fought the forces of evil on behalf of the Union under Ulysseus S. Grant. I loved everything about this series, the villains, the action, the plot twists, the last minute heroics. And this beautiful production brought it all back to me. Everything about it, from the packaging to the picture quality to the liner notes, is top-notch, and it's practically a gift--the entire series for an extremely low price! This is one of the best purchases I've made from Amazon.

This is a must for anyone who loves westerns. The first two seasons are in black and white but that doesn't take away from the excitement of the series. I do recall the series when it was on TV and I didn't take much notice to it but now in my not so young years I appreciate the series a lot more. I don't know why I just do. The way it is packaged is unique and classy. Just the way the series was Classy.

I LOVED THIS SERIES WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AS THE WEEKLY SERIES ON TV, SO WHEN I SAW IT AVAILABLE ON AMAZON I SENT FOR IT RIGHT AWAY. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.
I LIKED THE INVENTIONS THEY CAME UP WITH TO FIGHT THE VILLAINS. EACH STORY IS WELL WRITTEN AND SEEMS PLAUSIBLE. OF COURSE THEIR PRIVATE CAR ON THE TRAIN IS
CERTAINLY A PLUS. IT ALSO HAS IT'S OWN LITTLE INVENTIONS. ANOTHER REAL PLUS FOR ME IS THE LACK OF SWEARING. I THINK THIS SERIES WILL APPEAL TO THE OLDER
GENERATION. IT TAKES ONE BACK TO AN ERA WHEN LIFE WAS DIFFERENT THAN IT IS TODAY. THE CHARACTER JAMES WEST IS LIKE A WESTERN JAMES BOND.
