Summary: The Holy Grail of Boxed Sets
Review: Now for those Philes out there with the show maybe going off the air, this will be our mainstay. It was a dream come true to find out that I would no longer have to search through tape after tape to find my favorite eps, but that I could turn to a boxed set. The more I hear about all the special feature the more I fall in love. It was a great idea of FHE to release every ep season by season. I can't wait!

Summary: My "X"-dream come true....
Review: When I got a DVD player for Christmas in 1998, the stream ofvideotapes to my house virtually stopped coming in (except blank onesfor videotaping). I was thinking early on how it would be great if they released my favorite TV show (next to "Friends") on DVD: "THE X-FILES"! I think Fox already started releasing that horrid show "Ally McBeal" on videotape format? Well, anyway, the same company made a good decision to release the first season on DVD. I have to admit -- I've seen only a few of the first season shows since I watched some of the repeats and videotapes at random houses. With every 1st season episode on DVD, with no worries of "tape-wear" or commercials, and including interviews, trailers, great sound, etc. etc. make for a great viewing experience! . . . I hope they continue this trend for seasons 2 (and eventually) thru 7 -- maybe beyond. If you are a fan, preorder now because it's only another week away!

Summary: X marks the spot!
Review: Now THIS is truly the way to watch the X-Files, on DVD with the clearest of picture quality and all of the first season episodes present. You'll get no commercial interruptions, no staticy pictures and no on screen distractions, just the best quality episodes you can get.Okay, so some of the stories are a bit campy, and certain elements that were found in later seasons aren't present in the first season, but don't forget they were still setting up the groundwork.For those who may have missed a few episodes that weren't coveredin the video tape run, this is an excellent way to get all of those missing first season episodes. For those who were in a cave, or were avoiding the series early on, again this is a good way to get these into your collection.The price makes it easy to get them too WOW!

Summary: What can I say.
Review: Watching the X-Files is like watching a good movie. The quality of work done on the X-Files deserved to be transferred on to DVD. The ultimate in pleasure for all true X-phile that cannot be put down in words. The complete Season One on DVD is what a X-phile would want and should have. Personally, I have been waiting for this piece of news for about three years. Glad it's finally happening. Can't wait for the X-Files Season One DVD collection to fill my Audio/Video library. Now all I have to do is go out and buy a DVD player.

Summary: I'm rating this strictly on the basis of content!
Review: The DVD still hasn't come out yet, so it's obvious that my 5-star rating is premised solely on the merits of the episodes contained therein (as viewed from TV broadcast, VHS and LaserDisc).What can I say? I count myself one among the multitudes of X-philes out there. The series itself may be considered the "thinking man's" sci-fi, posing thought-provoking questions on the various quantity X's/"unknowns" out there. The Pilot has Agents Mulder and Scully team up for the first time to investigate the mysterious deaths of high school classmates, while Episode 2 introduces Deep Throat and focuses on the (not so surprisingly) unusual disappearances involving US army test pilots. 3 introduces mutant killer Eugene Tooms. 4 involves a teenaged girl's abduction by aliens. 5 takes off from the Jersey Devil urban myth. 6 is a "revenge-beyond-the-grave" story of sorts. 7 is on a computer gone berserk. 8 is an entertaining rip-off of "The Thing"/"Who Goes There?". 9 recalls a theme similar to the recent (and unbelievably boring) "Astronaut's Wife". 10 introduces UFO abductee Max Fenig. 11 pays homage to "Boys From Brazil". 12 reminded me of Drew Barrymore in "Firestarter". 13 is about a convict who has psychic abilities. 14 shows a series of bizarre murders committed by a person who can change gender (spoiler warning: he's an alien!). 15 is about a bank robber taking over the body of an FBI agent (Scully's ex) immediately after both are shot to death simultaneously. 16 has one of Mulder's enemies return from (what was thought to have been) the dead. 17 has a UFO shot by the Iraquis transferred to US custody. 18 introduces a young faith healer who appears to have genuine powers. 19 is a classic werewolf story. 20 is about disappearing loggers and killer mites. 21 reintroduces Tooms. 22 is about a girl with psychokinetic abilities and who appears to be the reincarnation of a murdered policeman. 23 is about the psychic bond between a janitor and (the preserved head of) his twin. 24 (gee, I think I got my numbers wrong...well anyway...) has the agents discovering gov't testing of alien DNA on an unknowing populace. These are really, really highly simplified summaries.

Summary: UNTIL THE WAVE ROLLS OUT
Review: WAVE #8 and SEASON 1 (all episodes) will as always be tremendous. My only complaint is that a lot of the world won't be able to see these, because they own VCR's rather than DVD players. A consideration on producing these on both VHS and DVD would be greatly appreciated, not to mention it would add another 50% to the profit sharing aspect of this business.

Summary: They've done it again...
Review: This complete Season One set is a MUST have for any X-Files fan. They quality of each episode is not only amazing, but we can finally watch all 24 UNCUT episodes again. The interviews, Behind the Truths, and extra goodies are a wonderful gift to us fans. The X-Files has changed the stereotype of episodic television, and I hope that an annual DVD release of each season follows. This set is worth every single penny you pay for it!

Summary: Counting the days
Review: If you're reading this, you're either already familiar with the X Files (in which case you know you're going to buy it so why bother reading any further), or you're new to the series and want to know if it's worth $90 of your hard-earned. Some say X Files is a love it or hate it series. Well, I guess I'm in the former category. These first episodes develop the series scope, the primary characters, and the chemistry between them, that proved so popular it carried the season through the 1990's. Being Series 1, there is not yet any underlying conspiracy story so each episode can be enjoyed for what it is, rather than in relation to previous events in past series. The beginning really is the best place to start. Like one of the other reviewers I saw most of Series 1 on TV but missed out on the VHS version. And although I'm not a deranged X-Phile who trawls the Net for gossip on the cast, when I heard Series 1 was coming out on DVD I went out and bought a DVD player in anticipation. It's that good. Bottom line is that this is well worth the cash - and in the highly unlikely event you don't like it, E-Bay awaits. One word of caution is that if you do get hooked you can look forward to parting with paychecks for Series 2 through 8(?).

Summary: How about the other seasons?
Review: I have purchased every single wave of episodes in VHS and I am willing to purchase the DVD versions but I am concerned that they will not release all the seasons. After the second season, the first one is probably the best.

Summary: The Show That Changed TV forever
Review: The X-Files changed televison and spawned many new attempts of sci/fi television. This is an amazing value. Think about it, two shows equal 90 minutes. Thats a whole movie worth of X-File intrigue. Multiply that by 12. Thats right, 12 movies worth of X-Files! Don't forget the additional material like interviews and behind the scenes information. That is one hell of a bargain. I know some of you are saying I've got season one on VHS already. No you don't. Only some of the episodes were released before. Jump on this bargain and get all the episodes on superior media (DVD baby!). I know they always say Trust No One, but trust me on this one. You will not be let down.
