These shows are like potato chips - you know they're of limited value but you just can't stop once you've started.  Great for sick days.

Direct copies from TV. Which means the quality is much less than you expect. But unavaiable elsewhere and Phil Silvers IS funny.

If you're a fan of the show you'l liek it. if your not you'll think it's a cheap product to lure in fans of the show who wouldn't buy it otherwise.

Okay, this is for the Limited Edition and NOT the show.  (Need I say the show itself gets 5+?)

The Limited Edition just arrived and I have to say I am quite disappointed in the quality for the price paid.  It seems they have gone downhill since the intense popularity of the Season 2 Limited Edition and are trying to sucker us in.  I have all Limited Editions since Season 2 - I guess that makes me Sucker Prime #1 - and this is the lowest on the totem pole.  Do yourself a favor and wait a while.  No doubt it will drop to less than half the listed price just like the Limited Edition of Season 4.

You find out that the shows and movies that you get are limited. You have to buy or rent and (old) movie for more than it is worth. I am very disappointed.

This "smart" TV is typical of it's kind: slow, unresponsive, and overpriced.  Don't waste your money on these subpar computers tvs, if you want a computer to access the internet and stream movies your best bet currently is a PC hooked up to a classic TV.  Currently "smart" TVs are slower than using a raspberry pi or a mobile phone, the mark up is over double the cost of a classic TV, and the programing is slower and lags forever when doing anything.

Typing words with arrow keys and a select button should have died with the era of entering initials into acade machines for high scores, this is an unacceptable way to try and use the internet.

If measuring up with classic TVs 1/5, if only considering "smart" TVs 3/5 average.

I HAVE PURCHASED THE FIRST THREE YEARS BUT WILL NOT PURCHASE IT ANY LONGER. WHAT A WAY TO SAVE MONEY ON THE SHOW (AND THAT IS EXACTLY
WHAT THEY ARE DOING) WHO THE HELL WANTS TO SEE THE SAME ACTORS PLAYING BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN. I GUESS THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF IDEAS.
THIS DUAL UNIVERSE DOES NOT CUT THE MUSTARD. I BET THEY TOOK THIS IDEA FROM SLIDERS. THAT IS ANOTHER SHOW THAT HAS GONE DOWN HILL.

I do NOT recommend this product to ANYONE.
While "The Walking Dead" is a first-class show, this "Special" edition package isn't worth the pressing. $25 is what you'd expect to pay for a COMPLETE television series' season...not a 6-episode, teaser season.
Having not known how short the season was, to say I disappointed at my purchase is a magnificent understatement. Besides the scant number of episodes, the "bonus features" are sorely lacking, not even warranting the 3rd disc at all (final 2 episodes on 2nd disc, then a black & white version of the pilot and a featurette on the 3rd)...that was a purely marketability ploy.
Having only seen the latest season since returning from a year-long military deployment to Afghanistan, I was very anxious to catch up with this acclaimed zombie series. Unfortunately, the high-cost/low-return investment on this scam makes it a "Must NOT See!" Do yourself a favor and buy the digits from Amazon for $9.99

Five stars for the program - it was one of the best. Two stars for Amazon's price!  At this writing, They're charging $47.99 - probably because this is a weak seller. I found it elsewhere from an equally reliable web site for $34.91, so I'm ordering it from them.

As far as I can tell, none of the extras in this release will provide a clue as to how the second season cliffhanger might have concluded. When a program with such a huge and diverse audience (CBS admitted it spanned age demographics, which made it difficult to draw the advertising they were looking for) is canceled with  an unfinished story line, you would expect the DVD release to bring it to some sort of conclusion - maybe by a storyboard or writer/producer interviews or something!

If you never saw JOA when it originally aired, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality, values and brilliant acting found in both seasons. the show inspired - you can watch this with your teens without concern.

It took a long time to get this out on DVD - at least a year and a half after the last episode. This has probably hurt the sales dramatically - people have moved on since then. Really good programming - the kind your kids can watch and that doesn't offend your sensibilities - is hard to find. This one should have been a long-running series. It seems to me that when you reach a large, broad demographic, you've got a hit, but CBS was looking to target a certain age group - short-term thinking in my book. Too bad for all of us.

The title of this Arli$$ release seems to indicate that it is the first of a series of "best of" DVDs.  The surprising thing, however, is that I was unaware there was enough "best of" material to even fill a single DVD, let alone a set of them!
The longevity of Arli$$ is inexplicable, just as it was unbelievable that Suddenly Susan ran for so long in NBC's coveted Thursday night lineup.  Everything here is stale, from the hackneyed storylines, to the obvious Jerry Maguire overtones that may have been relevant in 1996, but have long since overstayed their welcome.
Save your $$.  This show ain't worth it.

Hard to get actual details on this set, so I just bought it to find out for myself.  One was tempted into being fooled that the set was some new series of shows from A&E.  No, not so.  Hell no.  I cringed when I flipped the box over and read "contains episodes from numerously acclaimed HISTORY series on DVD."  Related episodes are included from Ancient Aliens, History's Mysteries, Mega Disasters, Mysteryquest, The Unexplained, and Conspiracy?  Yes, it's just an anthology of mostly old A&E/History Channel shows for a high $$ amount!  The History Classics line which usual include 4 discs retail for $19.99.  This 6 disc set retails for $60 ($47 currently on Amazon).  The price point is not good.

Now, here's what's included:
Disc 1: UFOs The First Encounters/UFOs: Have We Been Visited? (137min total)
Disc 2: Where Are All The UFOs?/Roswell: Secrets Unveiled/Roswell: Final Declassification (182 min total)
Disc 3: UFOs vs. the government/Close Encounters/UFOs: Testing The Evidence/Alien Abductions (180 min total)
Disc 4: Kecksburg UFO/Area 51/Majestic 12: UFO Coverup  (136 min total)
Disc 5: Area 51: Beyond Top Secret/Alien Infection/Alien Cover-up  (132 min total)
Disc 6: Best Of Ancient Aliens: The Evidence/Mysterious Places  (138 minutes)

I already owned most of these titles from previously released A&E/History Channel DVDs.  If you've never previously purchased these shows, then this would be a good set to obtain.  Otherwise, you're like me and feel terribly ripped off and double dipped.

Show is funny.  Episodes are short, with only 6 in the first series.
None of the exciting scenes shown on the cover actually happened in these 6 epidsodes. :-(

Still, good enough for me to be searching for the second series.

That's what this show boils down to.  It can be enjoyable to watch, only if there's nothing else on.  Themes of political correctness and micro managing by the president, that would never happen in real life.

The packaging makes this thing look like something special, but it's not. The two DVDs contain only four performances each and they're grouped in pairs. And these aren't vintage: They're taken from the "Rock 'n' Roll Palace" TV show from 1988-89 hosted by Wolfman Jack. The Comets performance of "Rock Around the Clock" doesn't include Bill Haley. The two CDs have a mixture of remakes and originals. If you can pick it up for $2 (including mailing), I'd say go for it for the video footage, but otherwise, you can do much better elsewhere.

This series was so HUGE when I was a kid, thought I'd really love this.  I did love the show content, the first 2 original seasons had a really factual, good-quality flair to the stories and acting, that changed when the series went live (I believe that was 3rd season).  So my rating is not for the show itself, as the episodes were entertaining to me, and appeared to be largely intact, not lopped off as series sometimes are in reproduction.  And the little sentimental music blips and "shooby doos' they were famous for in cementing the ambience are there.  The poor rating is for the crappy treatment this show was given in its reproduction.  Episode guide inside box was important to me, since I don't remember specific episodes, but the crucial point is that the "Rock around the clock" theme song was missing from every episode and replaced with some crappy music, and that really, surprisingly, changed the tones of the show.  The original theme song, really, tied in with what the meaning of the show was about, and the replacement song was just done very, very badly, like the DVD makers just didn't give a damn what they put on, they were just ordered to erase the theme song, so there was not even good quality to the replacement song.  When I buy a DVD of a movie or show, I expect the entirety of the program, not some cut-up poorly made job!!

Some productions are worth watching strictly for their entertainment value. This series is not one of them. There is nothing entertaining about being exposed to depravity, to sociopaths, to incompetence- both individual and bureaucratic- to characters that are often prone to make stupid decisions, and those that display inappropriate behavior. However, it is very useful, now and then, to be reminded that such "imperfections" exist in our society, in our social organizations (especially in governmental bureaucracies). This series' primary value-add is to serve as such a reminder, and is worth being exposed to for that reason.

Great nostalgia for the rich retired folks. Poor retired folks need not apply.

Rawhide plays on TV for free these days, and you can get an over-the-air antenna on Amazon for forty bucks by Terk that pulls in more free Rawhide channels!! 70-80 dollars for oldie TV shows that, to the best of my knowledge, ol' Clint doesn't get to see dime from, is ridiculously over priced.. Only season one is a deal. The volume splitting is horrible. The show was profitable and successful in the 50s-60s. Some other tv show dvd sales suffer this same high priced volume scenario. We get sucked into season one for 15 dollars and then the dollars and volumes start amping up to 70-80!

So if no one is getting paid, where is the money going? Tv studios are the only entities still surviving from this golden age to reap the rewards. They have generally have no one to pay but themselves. The original producers are gone too. I love watching these these old shows and IMDBing the actors. Not many of them from the fifties and sixties are still with us. Too many smoked like chimneys and lived to fifty. If you read where many of them spent their final days, it was in the Los Angeles area actors retirement homes. I assume they did not have the luxury of getting paid any further than the few bucks they got paid for the movie or tv shows at the time. Today, you make a hundred episodes of anything, you are a megamillionaire retiring in Beverly Hills with a hospital full of nurses..

Clint was lucky to live long enough to make movies into the age of residuals and dvd sales to collect what he isn't getting from these dvds. If I'm wrong, and someone is still alive to collect some cash for acting here, let me know. What am I really paying a high price for, if no one associated with Rawhide is getting a nickel.
