Summary: great shows
Review: I love this show.I i was really excited when i saw the dolby digital symbol on the box. Much to my disapointment. When all the show are in dolby prologic and the MGM intro is the only dolby digital item on the dvd. Kinda false advertising on MGM'S part. Other then that i am happy with the collection. I just HOPE the second season set THAT THE SHOWS ARE IN DIGITAL SOUND I COULD CARE LESS IF THE MGM INTRO HAS ANY SOUND!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this boxed set and feel sorry for the reviewer below
Review: First of all let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of Stargate SG-1 since its beginning and that this DVD is really worthy.

The sound problems mentioned below are noticeable, but not if you calibrate your DD 5.1 Kit correctly. The only sound problem I had is Apophis' voice. To make it more impressive they put it in the surrounds. So I strongly recommend that you turn up the volume of the surrounds and the center.(but you should do that anyway for all movies)

And about the interlacing-transition problem, it must depend on the drive you are using since I haven't had any problem with mine.

And I must disagree with the reviewer below about the aspect ratio of the video. It's 16/9, it has been shot that way and hasn't changed.

It's only the stupid people of Showtime that cut the borders!

Summary: Excellent
Review: In place of summer reruns we got back into SG1. They are great. With no commercials, and each episode feeds right into the next it was great to watch. I cannot wait for the next release of additional seasons.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice Set
Review: This DVD set is VERY nice. I was a bit reluctant to make the purchase after reading some of the reviews. Some said the audio wasn't up to par. One said the widescreen was artificial and resulted in distortions. Not true. The audio and video on this is perfect. I haven't yet watched ALL the episodes on the season 1 boxed set, but from what I have seen so far, I couldn't be happier. The widescreen only has a tiny, tiny bit of black space at the top and the bottom of the screen, giving you full-screen satisfaction with the feeling of a superb theatrical production. The box/packaging itself is very NICE, though that's a minor point, it's a plus. This would get five stars if it came with better "features" like bloopers, but oh well. I'm happy enough having the entire season 1 in a boxed DVD set. If you like this show, you'll definitely be happy with this DVD set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best just keeps getting better.
Review: I have been watching SG-1 from the beginning, and it is one of those rare shows that seems to get better every season. This season one boxed set lets you experience the show from it's very beginning, as the cast and crew develop the characters distinctive personalities and the overall plot line for the entire show.

The chemistry between cast members is awesome. I especially like Richard Dean Anderson's character, Col. Jack O'Neil. In a major departure from his McGuiver character, he is a tough, no nonsense, gungho military type who is pretty dense where science and technology is concerned, which provides for some occasional well placed comic relief. The female lead character is an attractive, genius level IQ, kick your butt in a heartbeat Air Force officer. She is as proficient with a H&K MP-90 assault rifle as she is with an Oscope.

The remaining characters are just as good and just as excentric as these two. Mix in the outstanding sets, props, costumes, and special effects, and you have a show that I feel is the best Sci-Fi show out there today. This boxed set includes comments from cast and crew on their roles, production values and techniques, costuming, etc.

If I were given a choice between Stargate SG-1, Farscape, and any Star Trek show, Stargate SG-1 would win hands down.

I am already eagerly anticipating the arrival of the second season boxed set, as well as the latest season opener on Showtime.

Summary: Technical Problems????
Review: I keep running into customer reviews both here and on other sites about problems with sound, flashes etc, etc. WHERE???. I preordered this DVD set and received it in Australia about 5 days after release. So I guess it had to be part of the first batch. Runs great over here with no probs on any episode. This release rocks, all I want is season 2- to whatever released as boxed sets, I'll buy them. PS just played the Broca Divide again, sound is fine for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every SG-1 Fan Must Have item.
Review: I have been waiting for many months for this release. It was sure worth the wait. These DVDs play perfect on my audio and video surround system. I recommend this gift set to every SG-1 fan out there. The only place that I have been able to get these DVD's are from the United Kingdom. MGM should be proud of their accomplishment on releasing these episodes on DVD. Thanks MGM, and look forward to future releases of Season 2,3,4, and 5.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD collection
Review: This is a great boxed set with a nice presentation. I ate up an entire weekend watching every episode, and found the sound and video quality to be excellent.

I'm not sure what problem the reviewer who stated that he had stretched images in widescreen was talking about, but I saw no problems. Maybe its time for him to dump the Zenith.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No Serious Technical Problems With This Release
Review: I've have noted some negative feedback re this box-set. All the episodes have the correct aspect ratio when shown on properly configured equipment. The Stargate and various other round object are indeed round. The Stargate episodes on these dvd's are enhanced for widescreen TV's 16x9 (Anamorphic). Audio is okay as well with the exception that some episodes have a different base audio level thus you may have to adjust your volume control from episode to episode.

The extra material is not bad but is the same as supplied with the second and third season dvd release in region 2.

If you are a Stargate fan (who is not), this DVD box set is for you.

Well done MGM Home Entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: Stargate is the best show on television. With original storylines and a wonderful cast, Stargate hits on all cylinders. I'm very glad that I got this collection. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed watching and rewatching these episodes together.
