This is a great show with great writers, actors, and directors.  I haven't watched every episode yet, but I'm  impressed with the new ideas in each episode, as well as the way continuing story lines surface periodically.

This is where the series gets good. You have to see the previous episodes to really appretiate the events that unfold here. The previous episodes were seemingly just that. Episodes. However in the main stories, they were always giving bits and pieces to the puzzle of the main agenda of the story arc. If you've seen the other series before this part, and are wondering if this is worth the buy...then wonder no longer. This is truely where the story, and the action gets good.

I personally thought it was very interesting, the picture and sound quality was excellent, given the fact I have forgotton all the episodes, it was like seeing a " new " series, I was pleased with this purchase.

What can I say? Part of the collection. Some better than other episodes.

This is an interesting boxed set.  As far as I know, it's the only one containing Doctor Who stories that aren't in order, so it gives you a chance to compare stories from different seasons.  It's great for the most part.  Here's a review for each story.

Doctor Who & the Silurians: The first 4 episodes are really good, but then it starts to drag a bit.  But even then there are things that grab your attention, most of all the ending.  Despite the silly costumes, the Silurians were rather interesting.  Not the best but when it's good it's great. 4 stars.

The Sea Devils:  I remember last year when SciFiNow did an article on the 3rd Doctor with the top 10 DVDs of his to buy, they put this as #1.  I was looking forward to it, & it did not disappoint.  It wasn't just the best story on the set, it was the best Jon Pertwee story I've ever seen.  Something else that I should mention, this is the best 6 part Doctor Who I've ever seen.  After seeing the Silurians I thought I'd never see a 5 star Doctor Who adventure that was longer than 4 parts aside from the First Doctor story I reviewed.  It was especially despairing when I saw that only 10 at most of Pertwee's stories were less than 6 parts.  But no, we get one where hardly a minute feels wasted.  The Master was great, the Sea Devils looked cooler than the Silurians, the action was great; this was just an excellent story.  And no matter what, Jon'll always be my favorite pre-Tom Baker Doctor.  5 stars.

Warriors of the Deep:  And it's all downhill from here.  While I can say that the 5th Doctor is in my next 3 favorite Doctors (along with Jon Pertwee & Sylvester McCoy), this is the worst episode of the original Doctor Who I have ever seen.  The team up between the Silurians & the Sea Devils is fairly interesting, and there are other moments; but it just doesn't work.  Like other people say, the Doctor should have realized that the chance of peace was too far gone for him to tell the humans to not kill them.  And that horrible looking monster, when did the Doctor ever see something like that?  This is just not very good.  2 stars.

So, that averages out to 3.6, rounded up to 4 because of the excellent special features & because I love Doctor Who so much.  In conclusion, if you happen to buy this set, don't bother with Warriors of the Deep.  In fact, I see no reason to go out of your way to get it at all.  Sea Devils is the only real must buy, and Silurians is worth buying too, but Warriors of the Deep is best left off of your shelf.

This is a very good DVD. Has a lot of different episodes.

It is easy to understand.  We had a lot of fun watching it.  And there lots of episodes to pick from.  I recommend it.

Like the first 3 collections, this one has a great variety of episodes, and its fair share of A+ ones which are as fine as anything that has ever been shown on TV.  Unlike the first 3 collections, this one has several rarely seen and/or double length episodes, and is even more of an acquired taste.  Die-hard fans and collectors will want to own this set.  Those exploring TZ might try one of the other 3 collections first.  If you like, read my reviews of those as well.

Going from the last episode of season 4 to the first episode of season 5 was really enjoyable.  It makes the night of watching so much more because I can watch 2 to 4 episodes in one evening; like watching a 2 hour Star Trek movie!

great companion piece to go along with the tv episodes

A good season just like the others. Anyone that really needs to look at the reviews really doesn't know the show

In my opinion, these first three seasons are better and much funnier than the resurrection season, simply because the gags are much more solid and give the episodes a LOT more replay value than the new season itself.

These five episodes are hand-picked favorites by none other than creator Seth MacFarlane. They are:

When You Wish Upon a Weinstein: Peter wishes upon a star for a Jew for better account protection and later becomes convinced that Chris will become better at school by becoming a Jew himself. Not one of the greatest, but still pretty funny. And it's easy to see why this episode was banned from airwaves. 7/10

Road to Rhode Island: A classic. Plain and simple. In order to forget his abandonment from his mother, Brian tries to bring Stewie home after Stewie's trip to see Lois's parents' property. Unfortunately, Brian and Stewie end up losing their plane tickets and goes on a journey back to Rhode Island on foot. A blend of heart and humor from beginning to end. Even the cut Osama Bin Laden scene was a hoot. 9/10

To Love and Die in Dixie: One of my all-time favorites! The Griffins are sent to the deep south after the criminal Chris placed the finger on for a grocery robbery escaped from jail. Rippingly hilarious! 10/10

I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar: Probably one of the edgiest, yet funniest episodes ever written! Peter is sent to women's retreat to find his "feminine" side after being sued by a local employee for sexual harassment. 8/10

Lethal Weapons: The highlight of this DVD! Lois joins Bonnie for Tae-Jitsu classes and everybody follows her example. The family brawl towards the end of the episode is just plain hysterical. 10/10

Now on to the extras: Three commentaries on Lethal Weapons, To Love and Die in Dixie, and I Am Peter, Hear me Roar which, although very suggestive, are still interesting to listen to. Next, a commentary on Road to Rhode Island by Brian and Stewie is a real hoot. A clip of the first American Dad episode is included, somehow isn't funny while the animation is better than Family Guy. Finally, there are two separate interviews by Seth MacFarlane: One where Seth talks about American Dad, and the other for the return of Family Guy. 7/10

Overall: This is the best "best of" compilation I've bought so far! Just like Futurama, I don't feel like buying the season sets since the show is still rerunning on Adult Swim and TBS. 9/10

Ok. Im a huge fan of this show.  I bought season 5 first....had to keep going until I have them all. Got season 2 here.....just ordered seasons 1 and 4 yesterday....4 shipped supposed to get it soon. Anyway.....I watch this show in a different style than everybody else. Because in my opinion every episode can stand on its own.  Whether its just one victim he gets....or its his complicated life.  I watch it that style. Ill watch say an episode from season 5...then watch one from another season.  Ok....on to my point.....they probaly did that to preview season 7.  There are ways around it.  Ill write another review to tell you how.  Im personaly looking forward to getting this set.  Once I see it Ill review it. I promise. But please no more complaints....even though they are beyond justified.

It would be nice to know which episodes are included on this collection.  I am trying to buy them for my husband and I want to get as many different episodes as I can.

Things are winding down at this point for the series (despite there being two more seasons after this one). From here on out, expect about one or two good episodes per season.

Hi, pretty much the quality of humour and the show overall is continued from Seasons 1 and 2 ( which I've bought and seen ). No doubt this is no small feat as trying to have original stories gets harder and harder. Certainly buy it ! Regards.
