Review: What a treat! In sequence and commercial free. All that it lacks is Season Two, Three, and Four. Can you tell I'm a fan?

Summary: Stargate SG-1 Season One Boxed Set
Review: Great. I am looking forward to Season two being available as a boxed set. I started watching Stargate later in the series and am glad to have this opportunity to catch up on the first season shows. My kids are hooked now too.

Summary: real sci-fi
Review: this show is amazing. you really have to be amazed at the attention to detail that went into each and every show. i only wish that the dvds were being put out by a company other than M.G.M...(after all this is the studio that releases rocky 1,2and 4. for years and then screws everyone who bought those by releasing a box set with all the movies ...being the only way to purchase 3 and 5) and don't get me started on how they screwed people with 007.... the reason i am ranting about M.G.M is that although i would recommend stargate sg-1 as the best sci-fi to ever be on television. it feels as though M.G.M did not want to put any effort into the dvd release....throughout all the dvds there are minor "glitches". while they do not detract from the overall experience of being able to watch every 1st season episode, they do let you know that M.G.M is only giving this series a cursory try. with no hint of the second season dvds on the horizon (domestic) i would not put it past M.G.M to "milk this first season for all its worth " before they even consider bringing out more..(domestic)seasons 2-4 are available elswhere.. now onto the show...this show has everything a viewer could want (notice i didn't say sci-fi viewer) it has incredible charachter development.....you actually care what happens to them.. it has incredible writing...every story feeds off another episode yet could stand up to most feature length movies by themselves.. and even the science part is accurate...all of this provides a thoroughly engrossing experience. i literally sat down to watch one episode and over three hours later found that i had watched the entire disc...(5 episodes) i have several hundred DVDS and yet when i am looking for somthing to watch i turn to stargate sg-1..... oh yeah....almost forgot...amanda tapping (capt/maj carter) is HOT!!!!!!

Summary: surprised by how good it was
Review: I've steered clear of ALL television science fiction and most movies until very recently. "Star Trek" of all flavors has turned into a blazingly sexist hour-long commercial for plastic merchandise, and "Babylon 5" failed spectacularly to make good on its promise of a deeper, more complex storyline. To be honest, I still avoid most television fiction; for the most part, if it's not on PBS I don't watch it. As a result, this series surprised the hell out of me. Oh, it's got its problems -- bad science, bad Egyptology (Hathor had the head of a cow and was goddess of beauty and not festivity or intoxication, and come on, Budge's translation of the Book of the Dead is still one of the best reference books out there; who else gives the glyphs and the transliterations?), and the occasional irritating dose of sexism -- but I still was very surprised by how good it is, and I tend to be hypersensitive to that sort of stuff. The movie was such a disappointment that I expected very little from the TV show; aside from James Spader, the movie had almost nothing to recommend it. The TV show, though, has a lot more meat on its bones. And the cast is wonderful. Richard Dean Anderson is very wry and grounded, Amanda Tapping is a lot more substantial than your stock inflatable-bimbo-who-tries-to-act-tough that these shows try to present as female role models, and Michael Shanks is every bit as charming as James Spader was in the same role in the movie. Don Davis isn't a slacker, either; his General Hammond is wonderful as the military-stickler-with-a-heart-of-gold. If television science fiction has got you jaded lately with insulting storylines, sexism till you puke, and avalanches of plastic merchandise, check out these DVDs. I've got no clue if the subsequent seasons are any good; these are the only ones I've bought. But they're definitely worth the dough.

Summary: Stargate SG-1 SEason One Boxed Set (DVD)
Review: I've just added DVD to my video capability. I found the Stargate Box set wonderful. Unlike many of my VHS tapes---there is no sound degradation--no hissing or popping, color fades, or tracking problems. I went through all five DVDs in a week. Now I'm hungry for the second season. The Season One Box Set is a bargain and a great experience. I don't watch the program on TV, so I did not have any experience with it. I took the hint from reviewers. I'm very glad I did. I won't get into the plots or character development. I could always second guess the writers and producers. I like the evolution of the cohesion of the team and the personalities of the characters, however. Anyway---good choice, good buy.

Summary: Great Set, looking for the other seasons to come out!
Review: This is a great set of DVDs. I watched them all from start to finish and didn't see any problems. I enjoy this series as well as other Sci-fi series. It would be great to see others published in this manner, e.i. a season at a time rather than two episodes per disk. This and the X-Files have the right idea.

Summary: Almost Perfect, But Still a MUST HAVE
Review: The series is far more interesting than the movie, and even if you're not a science-fiction fan, you're going to enjoy this set of DVDs. This first season set includes the 2-hour R-rated pilot for the Showtime series, and parents should be warned that there is a scene with nudity. The rest of the series doesn't have nudity, so it's a relatively safe family show, except for some violence. Like most first seasons of any show, the first few episodes seem tentative and a bit experimental, but mid-way through the first season series, the show hits its stride and never looks back. By the last few episodes, the show is absolutely riveting and you can't stop watching. Hard-core sound and visual fans will notice a few oddities with this release--it's only in surround sound and not Dolby 5.1. And there's some odd graininess to some scenes which can be a little distracting, especially when contrasted with a much clearer close-up shot or reaction shot within the same scene. MGM should have done a better job of transfering the show to DVD, since it's one of the best TV/Cable shows ever made. BUY this set; even with the video grain and the lack of 5.1 sound, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Episodes not in chronological order
Review: While the quality of the DVD's is OK I found that the episodes are not in chronological order as advertised. Only the episodes on Disk 1 and Disk 5 are in the proper sequence. The episodes on the other three disks are somewhat jumbled, for example "The Nox" is listed as episode 12 but in reality it was shown as episode 7. Both the MGM and Showtime web sites have the proper order but whoever designed the set did not follow it.

Summary: Great Series
Review: This series is one of my favorite of all time, this gift set leaves you wanting more, it has 21 episodes, i do think that they got episode 2 & episode 3 backwards, but is still a great set to have, i am dying to get my hands on Season 2, and Season 3 gift sets, wish they were released "sigh"

Summary: Worth every penny...
Review: I love this show and I love having access to the entire first season any time I want to watch it even more. Note: I have run across NONE of the technical glitches that some of the other reviews complain about. I have no sound degredation, no flashing, nothing but pure, unadulterated Stargate SG-1 goodness... Must've been a bad batch is all I can think. In any event, buy it - sell your kids if you can't afford it otherwise :)
