It comes with a slip too!

[Show spoiler]

Not much disc art, but I'm good with it.

[MifuneFan]

I saw that yesterday in the store too. Looked nice.

I've got the complete series.
A handful of episodes in a thickpak is just a big ol' no.

Good for you!

$45 for this set vs. $600 for the complete series was a BIG OL' YES! for me.





PS: Yeah, you put your ' on the wrong side.

So how does this compare to the Time-Life complete series set?

[Jr7936]

Is this the complete set though, cause i though they didnt rerelease all the episodes

[strumdogg]

There were 10 single-disc volumes released last year. This comprises all of them (41.5 hours)

The original Time Warner complete series had all 5 seasons on 26 discs (61 hours).


So they definitely packed more episodes onto these newer volume releases, but you still miss about a third of the series.

Is there any reason why they didn't release all of the episodes in the stand alone sets?

Less episodes, no or hardly any bonus features
No episode guide/descritions

No, only about half of the episodes.

Probably were't sure how well it would actually sell.
Speaking of, how well did the Time Life sets sell?

More like two-thirds.

I had compiled a list of all the missing episodes last year. By my count it's missing 29 eps of 140.

I'm also not 100% sure if I got the seasons perfectly, as they differed between the ABC seasons and the DVD seasons I think. Please feel free to point out any mistakes.

Also, it looks like only 5 episodes from the first four seasons are missing. The other 24 are from seasons 5-7.
