If you looked at the film on HBO about Vogue the editors eye.. then you pretty much ave seen most the photos in this book LOL! that is why I said this book should have been free with a HBO bundle! LOL. But in all seriousness, the book itself is huge, asnd I love the size of the book, it is a good to have in your fashion library, BUT if you have ever read any book about Vogue magazine, then alot of these photos you have seen (over and over and over)

It was free when it was a part of Amazon Video, now it's a part of the $New Starz package and I don't know if I'm ready for that level of a comittment. Dude if I'd known, I'd would have spent more time with you. Sorry, man.

I am only awarding one star for a number of reasons, one of which is the blu ray copy.  I bought the blu ray as Seasons 2 and 3 had the blu ray copy and a DVD, which was useful for watching in another room, and when my blu ray player died on me.  I  also I found the color more pleasing.  I don't care for the gimmicky online digital copy, tried it and don't have any reason to watch.  Season 4 and 5 did not have the DVD, nor was there any pop up trivia, which I find very useful and could certainly have done with to jog my memory of who was who, where the action was taking place, the history of  characters, and who the new ones were and how they fit into the story.  Quite frankly, I could have bought Season 5 for $10 less in DVD format and got the same.  When you add that Season 5 was 4 episodes fewer, I feel we got shortchanged by HBO.

That deals with the blu ray copy.  The other reasons for the low rating  are the rushed 'lets wind this up and get it over and done with' feel of the episodes, as if the writers had run out of steam.  So many events took place off screen and could have used an episode or two to depict.  How did Chalky end up on the chain gang for one?  How did he get from Havre Grace to prison?  What happened to his family? Arnold Rothstein died in 1928, but his murder only rated a quick mention.  As a major supporting player we deserved more.  Eli's time in exile.  After all the time they wasted on Margaret and her perpetual 'poor me' frown you would think they could have given us more of other characters.  Most of all, the stock market crash of 1929 could have used a whole episode and the fast glittering jazz age when everyone thought they were rich, or getting rich, came to a full stop.

The last disappointment was with the music, which had been the best part of the first four series and which deserved a separate music track of its own.  What happened?  Did they fire the person who selected the music?  I realize that the writers and creators may not have had the money and flexibility which they had at the start, as the studios tend to cut the budget of successful shows in the belief that they have captured the audience so why do they need to spend more money on hit.  (Star Trek was a good example.)  This explains why many shows which start out well end up as basket cases needing to be euthanized by later series.  I certainly hope they don't do this to Game of Thrones.  HBO may learn that this is not the way to build viewer loyalty.

Good episode, but it was only a singe 22 minute episode.  Priced like a movie... it was worth my time watching but not worth the price.

This wasn't a movie... it was the 3 eps rolled into one tape.  It kind of sucked that way too, seeing as I already owned the first two tapes.  But otherwise, I love the series... it's just too bad they had to rip you off  this way.

I am a little disappointed that all the big hoopla seems to be made over Jeff Benzos giving free 6 month subscriptions for people with the app.  It doesn't appear to be this way for us Kindle owners, and this is our reading device.  It would appear that you would make sure your own family would be giving the same courtesy.  I was really looking forward to getting it every morning, but I don't wish to pay if everyone else is getting it for free....I don't mind the ads.....

This felt like they were trying to squeeze the content down since it was only 3 episodes.  Having Fellows do bookend appearances to explain the plot was annoying as well. Wish it had been allowed to play out a bit more.

I bought this because I was looking though a list of HBO shows and this one had mildly good ratings on Amazon.  Plus it was only $2 + $3 shipping.  It was a $5 mistake.  I only watched the first episode, but it was full of unamusing banter, terrible picture quality, and weird camera angles.

They spent about 1/3 of the episode with a lady telling other people that James Carville was not, absolutely not, representing their non-partisan firm in his coaching of Howard Dean.  She made this very clear to different people several times over the episode.  Another significant portion of the episode was spent watching a younger dc newcomer be odd and interact awkwardly with people.  The last third was watching James Carville chum around with people.  But there's no clever back and forth banter.  It's more like a bunch of random frat brothers or army buddies talking about people you don't know.  In an Army movie you'd have the serious guy, the funny guy, the sociopath, etc.  And watching those extreme characters clowning around might be interesting.  Watching a bunch of politicians palling around is absolutely not interesting.

Also the dvd's picture quality was terrible and the camera angle for some reason was often that of a very short person struggling to peer over a desk.

Cost per installment is too high for such a juvenile storyline!

When the Inspector Morse Mysteries were first broadcast, I was still delivering packages for UPS while episodes were being broadcast. I have managed to see a third of the series, sometimes in their entirety but mostly in snippits over time. One of the reasons I am a Prime member is the reasonably priced and sometimes free downloads through Amazon Instant Video. I have watched all of the Inspector Lewis seasons, Derek Jacobi as Claudius and Cadfael; the new Sherlock, old Campion and Jeeves and Wooster are on my watchlist. I have searched for the Morse Mysteries, finding them on Amazon. I bought the first three seasons for around $75, and was sorely disappointed to find NINE episodes in the first three seasons, was shorted two episodes from the third season. $8.00 per episode of poor quality is NOT my idea of a bargain, especially for a TV series 25 years old. As much as I would like to see the other 24 episodes, I will die first before I am ripped off again by ITV/Amazon or whoever wants to make a mint off Morse's memory. They should have their eyes held open ala Alex in A Clockwork Orange and forced to watch Fox News for 24 hours. And to offer to buy back a $25 3 DVD season for $6.00 is an insult to your regular customers. GREED will be the cause of your demise.

This set includes 3 disks with 2 shows per disk, total of 6 episodes.  The episodes are:

42.  Carroll Shelby Bike 1  original air date: 1/31/2005
43.  Carroll Shelby Bike 2  original air date: 2/7/2005
44.  Lincoln Mark LT Bike 1  original air date: 2/14/2005
45.  Lincoln Mark LT Bike 2  original air date: 2/21/2005
47.  Junior's Dream Bike 1  original air date: 3/7/2005
48.  Junior's Dream Bike 2  original air date: 3/14/2005

I believe these sets are privately produced by Amazon, definitely not by the Learning Channel's production company.  This is a bare bones set.  NO special features, not even a disk menu to choose episodes on each disk.  Discovery did much better with seasons 1-3, these new sets leave much to be desired, and at $5+ per episode, the price is steep.  Come on Learning/Discovery- you can do better than this!!!!!

Fox has figured out a great way to alienate consumers through its handling of the MTM release. Rolling the first four seasons out over time, dedicated fans bought early and encouraged others to do so on the hope of making sure all seven seasons were released. After a 2-year hiatus, it's sprung on us that we'll have to buy the complete series if we want to get the final three. I would have loved to buy the full series for this price at the outset, but now I have to double-buy, with little hope of getting anything back on the $100 I already spent on seasons 1-4? It leaves me unwilling to ever assemble a TV series season by season again.

Remember, this is a review of the *product* (this specific DVD release of the series), not the TV show, consistently rated as one of the greatest sitcoms in TV history.

I am still disappointed that there were only 6 or 8 episodes in the 5th season but the cost was the same.  Lets  face it...the season could've been better. If wasn't such a huge fan of the show...

The pricing on this set is outrageous. Go ahead and stream this on Netflix. You can buy half a year of Netflix for less than this set. 30 or 40 would be much more reasonable.

I won't belabor the points already made by the others here...but I just want the FOX decision-makers to know that (1) there are others out here (like me) who will gladly pay a lot more for Seasons 5 & 6 if necessary, and (2) it really sets a bad precedence for you to release only part of a series. Also, when I see some of the absolute trash that gets released, in some cases right after it has been aired on TV, it just riles me that a show like this can't be completed. Even if you don't want to put much effort into extras, cover art, etc., at least you could put out basic discs. Luckily, I had videotaped all 142 episodes of the series over the years it has been in reruns, but it's just not the same quality and continuity.

Hey, here's an idea...if YOU don't want to put it out, can I do so?? Give me the permission, and I will sell them on eBay and Amazon (and help put my son through college with the proceeds).

So frustrating to have to watch on scratched disks- stopping,skipping.
season one through 7- free and annoying from the library.
and I think it screwed up windows media player.
Season 7- to the final 3 episodes. Well, there i am anxious for a finale
and dealing with inferior material.  So I spent 6.00 total to
watch 3 episodes on amazon prime stream. A few dollars well spent.
Busy raising children, I had missed the original airings.
I have now caught up with the masses- to 2007 lol. TY.

I'm fan of  at least the first 2 seasons if not the entire series. But I agree with the above reviewer and the rest of the naysayers. Shout factory is charging too much. It shouldn't be any more than $50.
