Still the best TV show ever made

This show is often rated as one of the best shows ever made. I agree and think it's still #1. The cast is perfect together and the show is still funny today. Wish there were more modern day TV shows like this that are safe for young kids to watch too.

By far the best tv series ever made! I thought Lost was the best, but this out does 24 easy!

Still the best thing PBS has done, even in its 4th season.  The images, story lines and superb acting make it a compelling show.  Must see TV!

All things considered, in my opinion this is one of the greatest television series of all time.  There is a reason why there are only 3 episodes per season:  They are so beautifully done that it's the moral equivalent of 3 commercial-free 90-minute films.

The story lines are dutifully reminiscent of Sir Arthur's own, but naturally are updated for modern times.  Exceedingly clever and at subtle wit (even by the highest of British standards) is part and parcel, rearing its head unpredictably, and only rarely cliche.

Cumberbatch plays a better Holmes than Holmes himself could, if he actually existed.  Outside of this series I'm not very big on Freeman (Watson) or Gatiss (Mycroft), but this series simply could not float without them both.  Brealey (Molly) and Stubbs (Mrs. Hudson) are so remarkable that they've been written into all 12 episodes, having originally been slated only for the pilot.  The other supporting characters are not brilliant, just good enough not to detract.

I've re-watched the series a couple of times and it's as marvelous each time as the first.

Dick Van Dyke.  What more can I say?  The best show ever.

What more would you want from a homespun, clever and lovingly outstanding show.  The writing, character driven humor, and the fine actors and direction make this an all time favorite for young and old.  It stands the test of time, and it is  my definite "go to" when I am feeling low or need some warmth from all of my friends in Mayberry.  Just a phenomenal show, doesn't get better than this**

This is classic tv at is best.  Filmed live with flubs and ad libs, its like sitting in a theater and watching a live play.  Its still funny after over 50 years.

I bought the famous 39 episodes when they first came out on VHS many years ago.  The tapes allowed me to introduce my kids to a show I'd loved over the years, first as a fuzzy memory from childhood and then in reruns on local TV.  This new DVD set is something else again.  The transfers are razor sharp, and the picture holds up beautifully, even on a big plasma TV screen.  Occasionally, I pop one of the discs into my computer and watch an episode at my desk.  The viewing technology has changed a lot over the years, but these shows never grow old.  Gleason, Carney, Meadows and Randolph invented he TV sitcom -- and perfected it as an art form -- all at the same time.  Their genius is beautifully preserved in this excellent boxed set.

Still the funniest show in the history of television. How the writers & LD keep LOL moments constant in every episode is deserving of 5 stars.

The very best tv show in history. (Of course, that's just my opinion.) Also, in MY opinion, it should never have ended. Mostly because it never got boring. There was always something going on to keep you on your toes; laughing, crying, etc. Even though I have found it all these years late... I ablsoutley love the fact it deals with real life concerns and SOOO much more. There will definately not ever be a match for this or another that will top it!!!!

This is the best show ever made for television. It is realistic without being gratuitously violent. The characters are incredibly well developed, and the writing is excellent. I am watching for the first time and can't believe it has taken me so long to find it.

The last seasons are not quite as good as the first 3, but it is still one of the best shows ever on tv.

The original Hawaii Five-0 still has the right stuff, representing the old TV shows perfectly. The setting, cast and stories just can't be beat.

I realize that there are many people disappointed that the original music was not included, which I can understand.  But then again, the rest of the shows are still in tact.  Besides, what's the alternative?  Finding some second-rate bootlegs on eBay that are often overpriced and poor quality?  This show still gets the praise it deserves with it's wonderful cast, supporting cast, direction, and writing.  Still one of the best shows ever on television.

This is classic TV at its best. The transfers are beautiful, the sound is excellent and show, what can I say. This is television the way it was meant to be. I only hope they continue to produce this series until the end. I see so many vintage TV shows start off only to be pulled after one or two seasons. I for one will continue to buy these releases regardless of cost of how they are split up. Lets face it, the studios do not have to release these wonderful shows on DVD. It is just a little extra cash for them. So they can pull the plug anytime they wish. So fans, lets keep supporting the release of this and other great TV from the 50's and 60's.

This is a timeless series. It doesn't get any better then this. The whole family can watch it or you can put it on and feel safe leaving it on for the kids. There's nothing objectionable. The story, costumes, music, and acting all make this award winning show a classic. We have watched each episode multiple times. Don't miss out!
