Veteran TV writer/director Tom Gries (East Side/West Side, Helter Skelter) created this action-packed drama about a four-man commando team (three Americans and one British) battling the German Army's Afrika Korps in World War II. Though primarily a vehicle for adventure fans, The Rat Patrol benefited from smart scripting (Larry Cohen and Richard Landau both penned stories for the series) that refused to paint the German antagonist, Capt. Dietrich (well played by Hans Gudegast, who's better known today as Eric Braeden), as a stock Nazi heel; in fact, Christopher George's Sgt. Sam Troy and Dietrich occasionally partnered up to combat a common foe, as in the series' fifth and tenth episodes ("The Chain of Death Raid" and "The Moment of Truce Raid," both of which are included in this four-disc set), which pit them against Arab fighters. Other highlights from the 1966-67 debut season include "The Kill or Be Killed Raid" (Gary Raymond's Moffitt must impersonate a German soldier to find a map to a hidden water source), "The Wildest Raid of All" (the Rat Patrol's plan to capture an important Nazi general goes awry), and "The Blind Man's Bluff Raid" (the Germans impersonate an American unit to trick a sunblinded Troy into revealing the Rat Patrol's location), but all 32 episodes deliver plenty of action and excitement. Unfortunately, no extras are included in the set. --Paul Gaita

I was greatly pleased at the quality of the new dvds sold by Amazon and the quickness of reception by super-saver shipping. Both sets of Rat Patrol were perfect, flawless and complete with uninterrupted themes.
I had the option to go to individual episodes or let every episode run in sequence; giving a full length movie-like viewing experience! Recommended for history buffs and to youth. It is a no blood showing, suggested shootings only, pg13 type seried that is safely within good taste yet ... Read More

It is hard to remember that action TV show can be 30 minutes. The sitcom seems to dominated the form today, but the Rat Patrol reminds me that you can have a complete action-oriented story delivered in a nice bit size chunk. I remember this show from my childhood and picked it up on a lark. I am not disappointed. The producers failed to include any extra (nothing, not even promo clips are included--clear indication who ever green lighted the DVD release was hoping to trigger impulse buying), but they ...

Got this for my dad for Christmas. He loves it. I paid a little extra for standard shipping, and it still showed up a week late for Christmas, but otherwise very happy.

The Rat Patrol - The Complete First Season is off the chart! 5-star rating? No! I give it 99-star! Although not as "psychologically deep" as the 1960s Combat TV series, The Rat Patrol offers lots of tough action-packed sequences with many first-person in-your-face camera angles that takes the breath away from hardcore war-action fans, at least it does mine. Furthermore, the episodes are very clever and certainly challenging for Sgt. Troy and his men; hats off to the producers of the show! The plots ... Read More
