If you love/loved star trek TNG and you do not have any of the series, put this one high on your wish list. Yes, it costs an arm and a leg, but you can't believe how much viewing material you will have at your disposal.
Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the packaging, believe what the others are saying, it's totally worthless. Go figure...

First of all, let me state the obvious - TNG was a great show. And I am very happy to be able to watch it now at my leisure. However, in reviewing this product, it must be said that it is really disappointing that Paramount did such a crappy job. Yes, the lime green disc cases are thin and easily breakable, there are no summaries of the episodes, and the quality of the video is pretty low - some scenes are clear, and then all of a sudden, it looks soft and almost hazy. Kind of shocking really for a sci-fi release. Audio commentary would really be nice, too.
Obviously corners were cut to increase profit margins. I'm disgusted, they ought to know their fan base would be critical of a bad release, or extremely grateful for a good one.
Being such a big fan, I bought it anyway, used. I don't want to give any more $ to the studio. I highly suggest you do the same - money talks, my friends.

This is one of the best TV series that existed in it's time, and can still hold it's own in today's market. Now, for the review of THIS release......
PROS:
- Small, compact size, so as not to take up a lot of shelf space
- Special Features not available on previous releases
CONS:
- The packaging is VERY CHEAP! Fragile plastic trays that can break during
shipping (or almost just by touching!)
- Quality of discs is POOR. They even look & feel thinner than a standard DVD.
- Picture quality is WORSE than the original "silver-box" releases.
Also, MOST of the episodes in the set I received won't play (DVD player stops in the middle of the episodes). This happens on ALL of the discs around the second episode. I know it is not the player, because I play MANY other series' on it, and I don't have a problem with any of them. The only DVD's I have a problem with are from this set. I have tried these on 12 (yes, 12!) different DVD players (3 of my own, as well as several friends') & keep getting the exact same problem.
My recommendation? Wait for a better edition to come out, or spend the extra money & get the "silver-box" releases of this series. Sure, it takes up more room on the shelf. But it makes up for it in better quality of discs, packaging, picture, sound, & play ability! I (personally) would rather have something that WORKS RIGHT than saves space.

I never recieved this product as the seller took my money and never shipped it to me. So, as a result I cannot review this product for you.

This is, with the exception of the terrible packaging, a great set for any Trek fan or anyone wanting to check this out, HOWEVER, watch out for Amazon's stupid prices. It seems Amazon has raised the price AGAIN to over $400. You can get this many other places for less than $200. DON'T GET RIPPED OFF!
