Rating: Summary: Buy it for the story, not the extras Review: If you love, or even like, the Higlander story, this box set is a great start to owning all of the seasons. I was not impressed, however, by the extras. The watcher files were too small to read and Mr. Panzar's explanation of each epsisode is pretty rough. After the first two episodes, I skipped the watcher files completely, and patiently watched and listened as Mr. Panzar recounted some history of the making of each episode.
Rating: Summary: The Saga begins again! Review: Just when you thought all was said and done and the world of immortals had drifted off into the mists of time, onto the scene steps a new MacLeod. His name is Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), distant relative of Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert star of 3 previous highlander films). Duncan brings a fresh new look to the life of being an immortal. Handsome, debonair, but with a rough scottish quality, Duncan with his beloved Tessa take the life of immortals to even greater depth. Watch the series unfold with each stroke of a sword and crash of the quickening! This DVD set is a must have for any highlander fan or for anyone who loves action, adventure, and drama coupled with superb detail and technology. Take your imagination into immortality with Dolby Surround sound, Direct to flashback scenes, Direct to Quickening excitement and even bloopers and behind the scenes looks at the making of the series. Who wants to live forever?!? Get a taste of forever by purchasing this Series!

Rating: Summary: A bad Day in Building A. Review: Loved this set. Had no problems . My 12 year old refused to watch any of the shows for the first two days, so my husband and I enjoyed watching this on our big screen with the bass turned up. Then the 12 year old came down for something to eat ... and has bugged us to watch the whole set in one week. She loves it. We loved the first 9 episodes the best. Since we had to move overseas and missed some of the series, we are anxiously awaiting the next set. I hope it is released this summer.We have 20, 12, 7 year-old daughters and they all voted a Bad Day in Building A (one of their cheaper episodes) as the best. They just wanted them to have a little more fun with the parking tickets. If you ever go to Europe you will get a hoot out of this Dutch surnamed French sculptor fussing about having to pay parking tickets. Parking over there is murder.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Review: One of the best thought out and entertaining t.v. series ever made. Highly recommend.
Rating: Summary: There can be only....Two? Review: The amazing thing about Highlander: The Series is how they are able to introduce us to Duncan Macleod and maintain most of the continuity of the original movie. It is a constant debate among fans of SF/Fantasy as to which telivision series based on a movie or movie franchise translates best to the small screen. Well folks, this is one of the major contenders! Duncan Macleod is the cousin of Conner from the original movie and has come to tell us that The Gathering hasnt ended and Conner needs to rejoin the game. Conner is reluctant but, when his lady love is put in danger its time to get back to business. This series has all the elements that made athe movie great while still managing to be original.

Rating: Summary: Adrian Paul comes out Review: The first season starts off a little rough with Christopher L. carrying the shows. As the series goes on you can see that the writers, directors, and actors really hit their stride and each episode is better and better. The 'extras' really explain what was going on behind the scenes, such as why a major character like Darius was suddenly 'not there'. I really enjoyed this collection. The sound was great, the transfer was great, and for the price it was a great deal.
Rating: Summary: Opening scenes have been deleted from the dvd! Review: The opening scenes from almost all of the episodes have been omitted. These are the scenes that are crutial to the telling of each story. I do not, at this time, know if all sets are involved, or, if it is a quality control problem that occured when the episodes were transferred from tape to disk. Persons viewing these for the first time are going to be very confused and wonder why the series recieved such good reviews. Is my set a fluke or are all the new dvd sets flawed? Dissapointed in Nashville...
Rating: Summary: Best Possible Choice For A True Highlander Fan! Review: The television broadcast was great. The VHS tapes were even better as they contained scenes edited for tv. The DVD's? Well, they are so crisp and clear and the sound so good, details missed the first five times are immediately found to be marveled over! There is nothing wrong with the tapes. They are what they are. The DVD's are just plain better IMHO. Even though I've watched an episode more times than I would care to admit, watching it on DVD makes the smile on my face just that much broader. Highlander is the reason I even 'have' a DVD player!
